Divine Game

Two figures
hunched over a game
“so higgledy piggledy aren’t they?”
one asked, knocking over
a piece on their board
absent mindedly.
crooked, chipped pieces
from years of play
placed around
by two
who did not know the game
just moving
just changing
just to see what would happen
out of curiosity
out of ignorance
out of boredom.
the Gods play us
and we intrigue them.
