john cage, kathy acker, me

http://www.asondheim.org/vox2.mp3

when worlds collide, john cage speaks up, he says,
don't vote, no one should vote (in conversation),
he's dead, he's still not voting

when worlds collide, kathy acker speaks up, she says,
he's crazy, say hello (in conversation)
she's dead, she's on the move

in paradise there's no me, no cage, no acker,
there won't be either

this isn't a poem but an explanation,
of dead paradise, why no one's always right
