VIENNA GAME

was playing against you
in the Vienna game

down to a tie-breaker
stakes couldn’t
have been
higher

my light side
versus
your dark side

my deepest dark
versus
your brightest light

attack, defence
defence, attack

my Freud to
your Jung; Jung
to
your Freud

Yin Yang
Yang Yin

yanging
and yinging

end to end
stuff
up and down the board

lines moving unmoving
broken unbroken

lines
of our lives

two
complementary strategies

right through to
the desired endgame
