(for Camille Saint-Saëns)
You played piano
then exhorted the crowd
to choose
which of 32 Beethoven Sonatas
they'd hear for an encore
At 11 years old
yes
a genius
but only youth demands such a choice
of its audience
being handed a bunch
of unique grapes
each with the taste
of its own perfect vineyard
