EITHER WAY

I know that it's
cliché, but really:

the spaces 
are for all 
the things 

I'm not saying. 
Look, I'm not 
making excuses; 

even music 
uses silence—
or is it 

silence that uses 
music 

to both 
herald and 
excuse itself? 

Either way, 
it's plain 
(and also 

elaborate—
are you 
starting to get it?) 

that nothing 
you could explain 
exists 

solely at its 
own discretion.
