John Cage:
Indeterminacy 31
ÂÂ
Once    when I was a child in Los Angeles
    I went downtown on the streetcar.
        It was such a hot day that,
      when I got out of the  streetcar,
         the  tar  on  the  pavement  stuck
 to  my  feet.            (I  was ÂÂ
barefoot.)     Getting  to  the  sidewalk,
        I  found  it  so  hot     that
 I  had  to  run  to  keep  from  blistering
 my  feet.            I  went  into  a
 five  and  dime  to  get  a  root  beer.
          When  I  came  to  the  counter
    where  it  was  sold  from  a  large
barrel     and  asked  for  some,
   a  man  standing  on  the  counter  high
 above  me  said,         “Wait.  I’m ÂÂ
putting  in  the  syrup     and  it’ll  be
a  few  minutes.â€Â     As  he  was  putting
 in     the  last  can,          he ÂÂ
missed     and  spilled  the  sticky  syrup
    all  over  me.             To ÂÂ
make  me  feel  better,          he ÂÂ
offered  a  free  root  beer.
  I  said,          “No,  thank  you.â€Â
