The original music score of [4’33]

Tacet meaning you don’t play your instrument.

Music he composes, 

Arm he swings, 

Ants crawl, 

Flies fly,

Breath sound , 

Eyes shut,

Coughs loud, 

Gazes pierce, 

Mind peace, 

Mind chaos

Perhaps perhaps, 

Like sun,

abundance we have

Like cloud, 

Blinder we get

Like water, 

All washes away

“I see, these books are probably law books, and it is an essential part of the justice dispensed here that you should be condemned not only in innocence but also in ignorance.
”

— Franz Kafka, The Trial

“Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. ”

— Macbeth, Act V, Scene 5 - William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

“Thus is Man that great and true Amphibium, whose nature is disposed to live, not onely like other creatures in divers elements, but in divided and distinguished worlds: for though there be but one to sense, there are two to reason, the one visible, the other invisible.”

— Sir Thomas Browne

Oh hamster hamster, 

What are you doing?

Still running on the wheel?

Did you not know, 

War is peace, 

Freedom is slavery?

Oh jerry jerry, 

You are a pawn, 

laugh* 

Perhaps not even worth, 

But keep going , 

There, the stairway to heaven 

Because, 

The giant is next to you, 

Watching you, 

But that is just in your mind 

Oh panda

How can you sleep all day

You are Kai Kai 

You are Jia Jia 

Today Singapore is your home 

You are performers

You are ‘hunger’ artists

“For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment’s human suffering”

— Albert Camus, The Plague

Here’s a ticket to Yinge

Socks and vase

Bowls and fan

How random is that? 

Works of art

Like ice, 

Slipping out of your world, 

Like weather, 

Changing seasons

Like air, 

Thinning.

Ignorance is bliss

Truly
