Play Time Part 3
Memories of being 10
Most consist of the playground
some consist of classrooms and teachers
few consist of competitions and awards
Memories of being 10
I remember the chess tournament
I remember the smooth wood of the pieces
I remember the semi-dark & cool room
My last match
I had won all of my other matches
I moved my rook 6 spaces forward
and with my queen guarding it
he had no choice but to move into a corner
right into my trap
I move my knight and claimed checkmate
Memories of being 10
I remember the coolness,
smoothness and shininess
of that brand new chess champ medal
