indeterminacy 64 - john cage & david tudor lyrics

on the way back from new haven
we were driving along the housatonic
it was a beautiful day
we stopped to have dinner, but
but the restaurants at the river’s edge turned out
not to be restaurants at all
but dark, run*down bars with, curiously, no views of the river
so we drove on to newtown
where we saw many cars parked around a restaurant
that appeared to have a colonial atmosphere
i said, “all those cars are a good sign
let’s eat therе”
when we got in, we wеre in a large dining room
with very few other people eating
the waitress seemed slightly giddy
david tudor ordered some ginger ale
and after quite a long time was served some coca*cola
which he refused
later we both ordered parfaits
mine was to be chocolate, his to be strawberry
as the waitress entered the kitchen
she shouted, “two chocolate parfaits”
when david tudor explained to her later
that he had ordered strawberry, she said
“they must have made some mistake in the kitchen”
i said, “there must be another dining room in this building
with a lot of people eating in it”
the waitress said, “yes, it’s downstairs
and there are only two of us for each floor
and we keep running back and forth”
