Replying to a comment on:

of people and places (final cut)I (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

I was studying the pattern of a tile mosaic once. I couldn't tell you how many colors there were. Or shades of colors. Or how many there were. Each tile a little frame occupying it's own space. No competition or noise. Just being part of the whole.

I am just talking within the metaphor you are using. It is of a game, although a most difficult one. That angle can work there. But the way it is being approached is running away from the integrated but separate issue, which is a hefty subject and noble to tackle. The hexarchy issue is simply the pieces that go on that board. Pawn. Knight. King. You get the picture. It invokes class in a modern sense and I have seen it done with some skill by a fantastic poet by the name of (no, not Stan Rice) Thomas Lux. Trent Lott is in every magazine and newspaper in America right now: finally the closet racist and notorious proponent of bad hair has opened his mouth about race again. As I said, think this through. Make sure the images are saying what you want. It is tricky when dealing with the game board.
