A Tribute To Cage and Solitude

I am here (solitude) and there is nothing to say those who wish to get somewhere let them leave at any moment what we require is silence (solitude) but what silence requires is that I go on talking give any one thought a push it falls down easily but the pusher and the pushed produce the entertainment called a discussion shall we have one later ? or we simply decide not to have discussion (solitude) whatever you like but now there are silences and the words make ( & ) help make the silences I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry as I need it (and my solitude) (in my silence) ___________________________ November 9, 2019 Poetry/Verse/A Tribute to Cage and Solitude Copyright Protected, ID 19-1195-084-02 All Rights Reserved.

Well done...often times only with chatting or focusing on something else can we really be in silent solitude... Alone can be noisy...

Arturo, thanks for the compliment, so true, one can find solitude in a crowd of people or noise in a silent room !
