i didn´t know that cage performs the piece: what did he do? he travel  
in the velocity of light?... did he desintegrate atoms?...

think!!! NO ONE CAN PERFORM THAT !!!

its like doing a painting writing: "paint with no paint"... it´s only  
poetics my friend!!!

but cage is good poet !!! very very good !!!! so his poetry is very  
good stuuf... and also his humor !!!

there´s nothing to under-understood !!! any child can understand  
that... but its more difficult with adults because they like to  
think... children are more intuitive!!!!... adults complicate things...

if an architet instead of building a house... write on the paper:  
"This is a house"... and if it is frank loyd wright writing that...i  
am sure that by now many architets and critics will be discussing if  
the paper its a house or not...

many thanks and sorry my english...if i have a best vocabuluary i will  
talk with more exactitude... in portuguese i will explain this  
better... sorry
