Cage’s Happenings

John Cage in 1981, with one of his art works superimposed

Show us
in  the mobile
   trajectories
  protean risibility
  of comic oboes
the blue
auras of conceptual
acts overcoming 
at opposite lines
           presuming a
  saturnine impasse
of our attic journeys
   from dramatics
easing facility
to laugh at
the  obliquity 
of ourselves.
