And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,

I’m a long-legged guy,
A macho man, if you will,
Tho still I fell for Little Blue Eyes,
When on the highway I was drawn
Into a Little Town...

"The Formidable Gambit"



Silence 
calculated and distinct

conspiring with rules
plays within the 
confined squares

of a strict and
ruthless mind
preying on all moves

untraceable 
unpredictable 
irretrievable 

in the opening move

"Open Oceans"



Kneeling on pearls
