With his 4.33 Cage opened a surrealist musical door
a short symphony needing no conductor or score

John Cage 'wrote' the symphony 4:33
with notes none could see
From the orchestra no sound is found
the'music' being 'noise ' randomly found
Alfred Leslie Erik Satie
with musicak dissonance so free
Once was all the rage
conveying the genre to John Cage
stay
