| 27 | | Silence lies underneath us all in the same way | ||
| 28 | | [the Nile has a river underneath ten times as large][nile] | ||
| 29 | | (although this is an urban legend, apparently). | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | | So underneath [truth][] or legend, flowing by | ||
| 32 | | the feel of their own [silence][], move the stars: | ||
| 33 | | silence lies underneath us all in the same way. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | | [John Cage][433], I think, understood this: the way | ||
| 36 | | that, in a silent room, one still hears the nerves | ||
| 37 | | (although this is an urban legend, apparently), | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | | or the heart, which I find more easily | ||
| 40 | | believable: there simply is no way that, by and large, | ||
| 41 | | silence lies underneath us all in the same way. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | | There must be different silences, because we | ||
| 44 | | have different [songs][] to drown them out, different gods | ||
| 45 | | (although these are urban legends, apparently). | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | | But is not all [sound one sound][]? You and I | ||
| 48 | | are two faces to the same head, the same body. | ||
| 49 | | Silence lies underneath us all in the same way--- | ||
| 50 | | although this is an urban legend, apparently. | ||
