Today, I challenge you to write a poem that incorporates the vocabulary and imagery of a specific sport or game.

our ancestors built almost everything on the board

but mostly, we never got to buy anything

or build on properties for ourselves

basically, we were sent directly to jail

and we did not pass go

and we never got $200

and we’re trying now

to not be pieces

anymore
