Red Queen,
Black Queen..
A harlequining
harlot all the same.
But then again..
when did I ever let
a bit of harlotry
get in the way.

All are welcome
in mine Kingdom..
even tax collectors
and whores.
So long as they
bow down to me
with masochistic,
blind devotion..
to the very floor.

And that is all
The Crimson King
would ever
bargain for!
