Jazz Poetry
Cage

Poet, procrastinator unissued until now, in this deluxe edition on Blue Note.I play the folk song twice
once to ring out the singed
changes, again in order that
nothing comes between you
and me, however the notes
pound for release from a cage...
A piece by Cage, you know
the one, the 4' 33" of silence
no one explains to satisfaction.
The notes—are there any, and,
do they come to ground? I have
a theory: the absence of theory
characterizes the piece, a piece
of peace, no schooling in scales
required. Play it. Play it, Cage.
