MOZART OR SALIERI

Mozart is in silence
before I play your
violin part
though you preferred
the piano to the strings
you still ascends
like the sunshine brings
though the concert halls
of Vienna or in Italy
and who is hiding
under the stool
old Salieri,
even Hollywood made
him a greater fool
than he was,
I had a Salieri
try to follow me
all the days of my life,
I chose violin,
a certain college,
a lover,
a vocation
a vacation,
a profession,
and you were always
a step behind
it was all jealousy,
genius you cannot have
but I extend
my sympathy.
