Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victoryby *argel1200

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Other

©2012-2013 *argel1200

My co-worker (white) was bragging about the victory he already had in the bag, saying he would take a picture of my crushing defeat. And here he is, a few minutes later, promoting a pawn to a queen, assuring his victory. And so it's my turn (black), but there's just one problem.... Anyone see it? My co-worker ate a lot of crow for the next few weeks....

And I made this wallpaper out of it to celebrate my minor victory!

27He had 27 bones
in his left hand,  all under a thick netting
of coral reef.  He had  27 bones in his  right hand too,  each perfectly preserved.
Both hands held their breath
as he approached stage  exit.

Listen closely.
Hit every bar, tour every state.
A river runs interstate through Texas.
Small yellow lines jump straight through it.
Take the US-27  from Fort Wayne to Miami. A second doesn’t make it
to his destination.

Cobalt. Aluminum.  A third was found dead,  drowned in his pool,
an empty shot glass floating beside him.
Cobalt weighed  down his shoulders. Alumi
