To leave behind
The things of the past
I need to take them all
Into account,
Store them in memory
And move on.

Thus I venture
Forward alone
Among a homogeneous cult.
Void of opposites
Sterile simple-minded droids.
Monkeys

To think of what must be done
The next step
The next play
The knight perhaps,
The pawn or rook
Straight for the queen.
