Going
all wrong
for famous
causes
like pawns
on chess boards

rooks bishops
queen and king
walrus ivory
having survived
medieval periods
in the presence
of wealthy people
via kite-shaped shields

knights
once isolated
in Iceland
wild-eyed
battle cries
being indicated
in red and white
in order
to distinguish
opposing sides

carved
with ferocity
unearthed
whales' teeth
offering
world-wide
delivery...
