• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Just a Girl Playing Chess

You're just a girl playing chess,
aren't you?
Didn't mean to set an entire world aflame;
to you, it's just a pawn, just a gambit...
But elsewhere,
men and women and children
are stalked down sterile corridors
by demons wielding syringes,
puncturing eyeballs,
and they can only run in straight lines,
and you'll realize it was always you,
you and your suicide missions.
From now on,
each time you touch a rook and lift it off the board,
an image will flash before your mind
of a hypodermic needle piercing soft flesh,
ocular tissue,
and you will be hungry despite yourself,
and no bishop can ever redeem you,
because after all,
you're just a girl playing chess,
aren't you?
