Dadaist Poem
Tristan Tzara

  1. Take a newspaper.
  2. Take a pair of scissors.
  3. Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem.
  4. Cut out the article.
  5. Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag.
  6. Shake it gently.
  7. Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.
  8. Copy conscientiously.
And here you are a writer, infinitely original and endowed with a sensibility that is charming though beyond the understanding of the vulgar.
