After reading "Lecture on Nothing"

We do not possess music. We own records, cds, files. As soon as we realize that we own nothing we will be satisfied (with nothing because that’s all we ever had). Structure is the most important thing. “We really do need a structure , so we can see / we are nowhere” (Silence, 125).

Also, for good measure, a poem:

Untitled
for John Cage

Four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence.
