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)
