  Cage, Cunningham, Rauschenberg and Avedon

  Almost fifty
  years ago
  four men
  came together
  to take a
  photograph.

  They were not
  ordinary men.
  Each was
  extraordinary
  and exhibited
  that excellence
  in performance
  and exhibit.

  Our country is
  still blessed
  by these four
  who set standards
  for all of us.

  Today, the last
  of the four died
  and not surprisingly,
  the most athletic.

  Tomorrow others
  will think about
  another picture.

  Civilization and
  culture are made
  so much more
  by these signal
  individuals.
