John Cage's Words Out of Joseph Beuys' Hat
Elina Brotherus
After Tristan Tzara, Manifesto on feeble love and bitter love, 1920. To make a dadaist poem. Take 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 the order in which they left the bag. Copy conscientiously. The poem will be like you.
