Indeterminacy 107


The day after I
finally won the Italian
TV quiz on
mushrooms,
I received
anonymously in the mail
Volume II
of a French book
on mushrooms
that had been
published in Germany.

I was studying
it in a crowded
streetcar
going to downtown Milan.

The lady
next to me said,

“What are you
reading that for?

That’s finished.”

- John Cage
