Locked in battle,
opponent glaring
into soul.

One of the best
against the best.

Undefeated
to say the least.

Lack self confidence,
left eye twitches.

Opponent pounces
at slightest hint
of weakness.

Death glare ensues
as I witness
my whole life
flash before my eyes.

Checkmate.

As I stare into
the endless void
of those eyes,
Eternity herself
becomes visible.

Too much to behold,
loss of footing.

Trip.

Blink.

Oreo the cat,
champion once again.
