⁂⁂⁂
let's play chess. pick your team
which side do you choose? i chose the light
oh, sorry—i think it's called white
and you can bet that i'll be the queen
⁂⁂⁂
you say you'll play the black king
the king is the center, you say, the king's infinite.
i think power's clouded your judgement, darling
because, you see, the king's moves have a limit
⁂⁂⁂
starting out a pawn
white paint gleaming, pristine
and my position's rather woebegone
but once i make it to the edge i am finally the queen
⁂⁂⁂
you're the king, center of the game
black paint so shiny it's making me moonstruck
and then i begin to see you as rather plain
because no matter where you are you'll still be stuck
⁂⁂⁂
you're stuck in your few spots
while i've got the whole board
better the queen than the king, darling
