Silence lies underneath us all in the same way
the Nile has a river underneath ten times as large
(although this is an urban legend, apparently).

-

So underneath truth or legend, flowing by
the feel of their own silence, move the stars:
silence lies underneath us all in the same way.

-

John Cage, I think, understood this: the way
that, in a silent room, one still hears the nerves
(although this is an urban legend, apparently),

-

or the heart, which I find more easily
believable: there simply is no way that, by and large,
silence lies underneath us all in the same way.

-

There must be different silences, because we
have different songs to drown them out, different gods
(although these are urban legends, apparently).

-

But is not all sound one sound? You and I
are two faces to the same head, the same body.
Silence lies underneath us all in the same way—
although this is an urban legend, apparently.
