It's a Saturday in October 2011
in the Christian calendar
5772 in the Hebrew calendar
4708 in the Chinese calendar
1432 in the Muslim calendar
and today in the Lakota calendar
in South Dakota
of the United States
where two people
of German Scottish and Norwegian descent
listen to a Japanese musician
with an English orchestra
play an Austrian-Bavarian composer's
piano concerto
on a Minnesota radio station
in a country he barely heard of
over wires and glass fiber
on equipment
made in China and who knows where
at a quality only available to the richest
of Salzberg and Vienna
250 years ago
and still
Mozart
hasn't left the galaxy
