Pythagoras

I've listened to a thousand symphonies
not all of them music, some of them colour. What tips the scale from caterwaul to hymn? What turns a heartbeat to a march?
A mathematician invented tuning
after all, so where does music sleep?
The metal of the bell? The steel of the string? It is how we hear it that makes the tune;
song the subjective, dance the objective.
Vibrations of life only lack composers.

-Leo Cookman
