COMING ROUND

I don't know where this is
and I don't know chess.

I don't know any moves
or how we came to this.

I don't know what to do
with broken pieces

or how people ever get to speak
across the sexes.

I don't know whose move next
or why colour is excluded.

I know nothing about horses.
I don't know where

power lies.
I don't know where you are.

And anyway, who cares.
