Opening Symphony

Evans played Giuoco's piano next to Ruy
and in the audience sat Petroff
who sipped on his Scotch.
A theatre in Vienna, with Dutch ushers
and a Yogloslav box office that collected
without fail.

An Old Indian took the stage
and sang "Evergreen"which ended
to a standing ovation.
Can and his friend Carro delivered a sombre
adage called, "Deep Blue",
and brought philosophers Paulsen and Tchigorin
to tears.

It spoke of a man who became
the King of the Indians
and who quit his passion
to save his people from a tyrannt,
whose punitive ways
needed correction.

The man lost his crown
to his student,
and chose to save the world.
