Poetry

• To make a Dadaist poemTake a newspaper.Take a
  pair of scissors.Choose an article as long as
  you are planning to make your poem.Cut out the
  article.Then cut out each of the words that make
  up this article and put them in a bag.Shake it
  gently.Then take out the scraps one after the
  other in theorder in which they left the
  bag.Copy conscientiously.The poem will be like
  you.And here you are a writer, infinitely
  original andendowed with a sensibility that is
  charmingthough beyond the understanding of the
  vulgar. by Tristan Tzara

The first piece was created by authors who used
the instructions provided by Tristan Tzara in his
piece

• Emmy Hennings
• We pull ourselves toward Death with the cord of
  hope. Ravens are envious of the prison yards.
  Our never-kissed lips quiver. Powerless
  solitude, you are magnificent. The world lies
  outside there, life roars there. There men are
  permitted to go where they like. Once we also
  belonged to them.
• And now we are forgotten and presumed dead.
  At night, we dream of miracles on our
  plank-beds. During the days, we move along like
  frightened animals. We mournfully look out
  through the iron railing And have nothing more
  to lose Than the life God gave us. Only Death
  lies in our hand.
• The freedom no one can take from us To go
  into the unknown land.

• That race- quick/doomed,  Abuse can park boyhood
  After still how supply giants Win America Over
  leagues he is.  Manager Brewers Food lived in
  open Determined varsity Still drinking,
  ramification
