40712 - There isn’t

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

There isn’t
a chessboard
with merely
two squares
and they can bang their head
against the wall
as much as they like
all those who assume
that they can
place
their signature
under a pre-agreement
without ever
studying
the history
of the Balkans
upon a genuine
chessboard
Byzantine.
