Robert James “bobby” Fischer World Citizen Despite Usa Poem by Christos R. Tsiailis

Robert James “bobby” Fischer World Citizen Despite Usa



Why, international chess master,
why all magistrate ingenuity wasted on a puzzling game?
What with the black king, what with the white,
what secret passion with the duo femme
on the board roaming upright?

Some pusillanimity, perhaps?
of guns on bruised shoulders?
of chemicals and tubes?
of mice in a maze?

Who made the choice for you, genius,
your dad? your mummy? a family doc?
a reputation-paedomorphic haste?
your neighbourly mentor?

You and your kin,
so many thousands of years accusing Napoleon
for fighting within self,
over and above trapeziums, against any polis,
to boast that,
Black and White World Wars a, b, c, d, e, in ancient China
and then f, g, h, i, j, k l, m, n, o, p on plastic chairs,
all concluded in theoretical massacre.
A bless, Bobby, you would have said, yet,

So many giant- and nano-inventions
not even thought of in time, or at all,
so much medicine in nature or in chemical combinations
hidden in oblivion rivers, not tested
to save us from the viruses ever uploaded,
so many thoughts of Philosophy and Reason
just to deny divine-like treason, unborn of idle gins.
A bless, Bobby, you would have said, yet,

In your eyes Twin Towers were born and buried of
two Queen Mothers, a Jewish and a Settler,
so happy you were of their grief,
the pieces you shuffled on the board to
commence Wars in medias res* and win still,
to show how you started your life just before the end,
as you renounced the USAan citizenship for the sake of the world,
as you renounced the sciento-perspective equinox in every March of your life,
for the sake of some Theatrical Paradox of Life and Dogs on Squares.
“Crush their mind”, Chicago 0 – 1 Reykjavik.

(Nicosia,16th April,2008)

*From Horace. Refers to the literary technique of beginning a narrative in the middle of, or at a late point in, the story, after much action has already taken place. (http: //en.wikipedia.org/)
