Piece 13: Dadaist Poem

To Make A Dadist Poem by Tristan Tzara

Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article 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 gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the 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

I was reading about dadaism on the internet and i came across this interesting poem and thought it would be a good way to do a piece of art rather than the simple painting. here it is:
