they say that it happened pretty quick


...and speaking of music that cannot be heard,

and Writing without content,

made me think of

I'm Not There,

a movie about Bob Dylan -- (sort of) -- that I've never seen need to see it....

---------...Two doors down
the boys finally made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe --
it's said they got off with quite a haul
In the darkness by the riverbed
they waited on the ground
For one more member
who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further
Without the Jack of Hearts.

The next day was hanging day,
the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up
killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows
she didn't even blink
The hanging judge was sober
he hadn't had a drink
The only person on the scene
missing
was the Jack of Hearts.------------

{excerpt, "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" -- Bob Dylan}

He's on the scene --
yet he's
missing.

It made me think of that, too.
