Huw,

Well, the poem *was* linked to in a Bowie Obit at the New Yorker as well, but I thought Becket's poem still coincides with the list's recent occupations:

This one was also intriguing:
David Bowie explained how he used 'cut ups' to create lyrics

Bowie also had spent time in a Buddhist monastery as a young man, so it likely plays a part in this. Meditation is frequently about being without thought, which to me is about being without words.

Kind regards,
