Tzara-ist Manifesto


from the ABC set Lovers, Liars and Just Good Friends.

On off on off
red green stop go
-turn on the howl
of clashing colours-
hear the gut-scream
of clashing cultures.
Tangle all the contradictions,
interweave life with the trivial
and the grotesque.
Embrace the
nonsensical
as the logic of our times
-and kiss a poppy-
or smoke the orchid.

Da Da!
The magician's assistant
saws the mirrors in half.

Brilliant. One of my favourite pieces of yours. The short lines and short overall length works very well, in my opinion.
