to Dollar Brand's African Piano.
My recording's probably not nearly as nice, I acknowledge,
as the record
you hear it from
in a certain company, chopping onions maybe,
or washing dishes drinking coffee
with the kind of attention
and relation
you've worked so hard
to sculpt . . .
Regardless, my goodness!
It makes me crazy
with joy
all the things I do not know.

Peter Dickinson asked,
"Do you mean more attuned to somebody's spiritual development?"
John Cage replied "All
of that - more possible to live affirmatively if you find
the sound of the environment beautiful.
***
Irish musicians had a contest of heroes and the question was,
'What is the most beautiful sound?'
The one who won the contest said the most beautiful sound
is the sound of what happens"

and I would add
"to be shared."
Dear Friday night,
Bring out the stars
that need polishing.
