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