    If there is nothing there, and my computer just isn’t producing the words, this is brilliant. If there are words and I just can’t see them, well I’ll have to log in later and get back to ya.

    right on. Very much silence indeed. This poem could also be dedicated to Miles Davis’ work in the year or two leading up to Bitches Brew. Music is all about silence. . . or should I say, silence makes music possible.

    I didn’t know what to think when I first saw this, but now I think its a great idea.

Ode to John Cage

Ode to John Cage
by Jim Benz

very much silence
very much silence
very much silence
very much s

still more silence
still more silence
still more silence
still more s

not a whistle
nor a squeal
not a shout
nor a cry
only s

(what is
this sound that lingers
in s
