Silence is music.
There are different kinds of silences:

Silence is an integral part of all music

#ObservationAfterTheFact - if OFFICE SPACE(1999) cast Christopher Walken as Milton, some lines would be menacing: "I could set the building on fire" or "I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry" or "The ratio of people to cake is too big"

Got my first shot of the vax today. As we speak, messenger RNA are teaching my immune system how to put in the lime wedge, cover the bottle opening with their thumb, and invert.
