know river soul canes
--- and have save(d) King brassbands

Horn soul save mud babies
spectator Gabriel city**
dream girl singing love
sing blues drunk jelly
taught world soul know top shoes
old New Orleans
lucky music and
gracious ghost drink streets laugh
dance love man Louie
(A/N:
Tzara gave the following instructions on how "To make a Dadaist Poem" (1920):
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 used the song lyrics instead of an article.
** 8 syllables instead of 7. Was bound to happen with Dadaism.)
