Drooling May He Start

“I’d ask

A
presser jumped, “Your brain, OK?” 
“Part 
OK,” erupted in 
Dodd’s brain.

This is the first, I hope, in a series of Dadaist Poems on current events.  Dadaist Poetry began the surrealist movement, hence my interest in playing this word game.  Dadaist Poetry is made from cutting up newspaper and randomly reordering the words to create something new.  It can be done now online with electronic news using a generator.

The poetry is nonsensical… but then so is the political news I’m using as my source.  There is a nice tension, however.  And it’s best read aloud in dramatic monologue.

Here’s my Poem.  As a matter of form, I’ll link to the source article.
