Something about all music being performances of 4'33" in places where other bands happen to be playing

+ + +

+ for Randall +

+
+ +
+

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.
