How to make a Dadaist Poem, 1920
Tristan Tzara lt------ (so 1337!) see below
OVERKILL
"Take a newspaper. Take some scissors. Choose
from this paper an article of the length you want
to make your poem. Cut out the article. Next
carefully cut out each of the words that make up
this article and put them all in a bag. Shake

other. Copy conscientiously in the order in which
they left the bag. The poem will resemble you.
And there you are -- an infinitely original
author of charming sensibility even though
unappreciated by the vulgar herd."

possibilities of order, whole realms of implied
meanings became apparent.
