As I strolled through the streets of Washington, DC, I came across this amazing sculpture, although to call it simply a sculpture or statue was to short-change the artist.
Before my eyes (and the lens of my camera) a small scene played out despite the participants’ inanimacy.
(Yes, I make words up. I’m a writer, it’s what I do. Same relationship as intimate to intimacy.)
- Ummm. Pawn to King’s bishop… No.
- Would you move, already?!
- Don’t rush me. I’m thinking.
- If you adjust your seat one more time…
- Fine! Pawn to Queen’s…
- I’m gonna throw this at you!
- What?!
- That’s my pawn!
- Fine! Pawn to…
- I hate you.
