Shake that devil!

That dog had its way with me
Shake that dog out of the tree
Shake that dog right out of me

That bird came at me with a knife
Told me she wanted my life
Shake that bird out of the tree, so that everyone can see
Shake that bird right out of me

That pig took everything i had
That pig made me feel so bad
Shake that pig out of the bush, now lets give that pig a push
Shake that pig right out of me

Shake that devil

lucifer qui mane oriebaris

Lucifer son of the morning, I'm gonna chase you out of earth!
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase Satan out of earth!
I'm gonna put on a iron shirt, and chase the devil out of earth!

cat haiku

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today:
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then --
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds --
your foot just squashed one.

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper?'

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes,
Fear vacuum cleaner

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, poop! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams;
My claws are not that sharp.

hello skippy squirrels and hello little bunny rabbits!

Squirrels are the Devil's Oven Mitts!

pobre diabla

Pobre diabla,
me han dicho que te han visto por la calle vagando.
Llorando por un hombre que no vale un centavo.
Pobre diabla, llora por un pobre diablo.

Fiah fi di man // room number 124

I rise each day
to yet another shock
from dis alarm clock culture.
And I miss de sound
of mi big red cock
as him beat him chest
and crow welcome song
to de sun
from de fowl s--t covered
guava tree pon de hillside.

And de snooze button allow me five minute
more to dream bout ackee and breadfruit.
Den I get up and eat a bagel
and worry bout mi love handle.

Six layers a clothes
and termal drawers
and I still cold.
Another bridge mean more toll.
And de golden ruleis alternate-side parking.

And as de belly get fat
many tings bout Yard dat
used to be just a mere inconvenience
start to look like major incompetence.
Unscheduled power cut
daily
water lock off
bank pon short staff cause
the morning was a little bit rainy.
Few telephones
dat's just how it is
yet everyone know
everyone else business.

Well I live in mi building for five years now
and mi neighbours dem still don't know me.
But solace come from anonymity.
And every time I bite de apple
de apple swallow me.

So dem force me to buy
a piece of the FBI
CIA investment pie.
And dem give me a W2
form in lieu
of a receipt.
So now I'm funding a plot
to get God shot
or someting like dat.

De Korean polish him apples dem clean
and arrange dem in stacks of red, gold and green.
say him want Rasta to feel welcome. Seen?

Still I yearn for de breeze
from de Natty Bay sea
as it cool down de sweat pon me back
Long to feed dry coc'nut to mi cock.
So I dilly
and I dally
and I wonder
how much longer
I can philander
Cause each time I bite de apple
it swallow a piece of me
Still it hard to love de fruit
if I never did climb de tree.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Cover your head with a yellow hat because Tristan Tzara didn’t cover his head with one in 1916, 1918, 1919 and 1920.

Wear a violet coat because Jean-Paul Sartre,who said it hasn’t been sufficiently noted that the constructions, paintings and poem-objects of Surrealism were the manual realization of sterilities by which the sceptics of the Third Century B.C. justified their perpetual “epoche”. After which, Carneades and Philo, sure of not compromising themselves by an imprudent adherence, lived like everybody else. In the same way, the Surrealists, once the world is destroyed and miraculously preserved by its destruction, can shamelessly give full play to their immense love of the world never wore one.

Wear red gloves because fifteen years ago I was blamed by a Japanese Communist for not painting a red flag.

Wear orange pants because Circumference = 2 π r

Wear green socks because the area of the circle = π r ²

Put on blue shoes

Who still considers himself very likeable

You're deviating

XV

DADA is not a doctrine to be put into practice: Dada - is for lying: a successful business. Dada gets into debt and doesn't live on its well-filled wallet. The good Lord created a universal language, that's why people don't take him seriously. A language is a utopia. God can allow himself not to be successful: so can Dada. That's why the critics say: Dada goes in for luxuries, or Dada is in rut. God goes in for luxuries, or God is in rut. Who's right: God, Dada or the critic?
"You're deviating," a charming reader tells me.
- No no, not at all! I simply wanted to reach the conclusion: Subscribe to Dada, the only loan that doesn't pay.

to be the editorial office and the bathroom of God who every day takes a bath in us in company with the cesspool clearer

XIV

To "prettify" life in the lorgnette - a blanket of caresses - a panoply with butterflies - that's the life of life's chambermaids.

To sleep on a razor and on fleas in rut - to travel in a barometer - to piss like a cartridge - to make faux pas, be idiotic, take showers of holy minutes - be beaten, always be the last one - shout out the opposite of what the other fellow says - be the editorial office and the bathroom of God who every day takes a bath in us in company with the cesspool clearer - that's the life of dadaists.

To be intelligent - respect everyone - die on the field of honour - subscribe to the Loan - vote for So-and-So - respect for nature and painting - to barrack at dada manifestations - that's the life of men.

the chameleon

XIII

DADA is a virgin microbe
DADA is against the high cost of living
DADA
limited company for the exploitation of ideas
DADA has 391 different attitudes and colours according to the sex of the president
It changes - affirms - says the opposite at the same time - no importance - shouts - goes fishing.
Dada is the chameleon of rapid and self-interested change.
Dada is against the future. Dada is dead. Dada is absurd. Long live Dada. Dada is not a literary school, howl.

gentlemen and ladies

XII

gentlemen and ladies buy come in and buy and don't read you'll see the fellow who has in his hands the key to niagara the man with a game leg in the game box his hemispheres in a suitcase his nose enclosed in a chinese lantern you'll see you'll see you'll see the belly dance in the massachusetts saloon the fellow who sticks the nail in and the tyre goes down mademoiselle atlantide's silk stockings the trunk that goes 6 times round the world to find the addressee monsieur and his fiancee his brother and his sister-in-law you'll find the carpenter's address the toad-watch the nerve like a paper-knife you'll have the address of the minor pin for the feminine sex and that of the fellow who supplies the obscene photos to the kind of greece as well as the address of l'action francaise.

brutal

XI

Dada is a dog - a compass - the lining of the stomach - neither new nor a nude Japanese girl - a gasometer of jangled feelings - Dada is brutal and doesn't go in for propaganda - Dada is a quantity of life in transparent, effortless and gyratory transformation.

phlegmatic and insinuating

X

It is certain that since Gambetta, the war, Panama and the Steinheil affair, intelligence is to be found in the street. The intelligent man has become and all-round, normal person. What we lack, what has some interest, what is rare because he has the anomalies of precious being, the freshness and liberty of the great antimen, is

THE IDIOT

Dada is working with all its might towards the universal installation of the idiot. But consciously. And tends itself to become more and more of one.
Dada is terrible: it doesn't feel sorry about the defeats of intelligence.
Dada could rather be called cowardly, but cowardly like a mad dog; it recognises neither method nor persuasive excess.
The lack of garters which makes it systematically bend down reminds us of the famous lack of system which basically has never existed. The false rumour was started by a laundress at the bottom of her page, the page was taken to the barbaric country where humming-birds act as the sandwich-men of cordial nature.
This was told me by a watch-maker who was holding a supple syringe which, in characteristic memory of the hot countries, he called phlegmatic and insinuating.

that's why you're all going to die

IX

There are some people who explain, because there are others who learn. Abolish hem and all that's left is dada.
Dip your pen into a black liquid with manifesto intentions - it's only your autobiography that you're hatching under the belly of the flowering cerebellum.
Biography is the paraphernalia of the famous man. Great or strong. And there you are, a simple man like the rest of them, once you've dipped your pen into the ink, full of

PRETENSIONS

which manifest themselves in forms as diverse as they are unforeseen, which apply to every form of activity and of state of mind and of mimicry: there you are, full of

AMBITIONS

to keep yourself on the dial of life, in the place where you've only just arrived, to proceed along the illusory and ridiculous upward path towards an apotheosis that only exists in your neurasthenia: there you are, full of

PRIDE

greater, stronger, more profound than all the others.


Dear colleagues: a great man, a little one, a strong, weak, profound, superficial one,
that's why you're all going to die.
There are some people who have antedated their manifestos to make other people believe that they had the idea of their own greatness a little earlier. My dear colleagues, before after, past future, now yesterday,
that's why you're all going to die.
There are some people who have said: dada is good because it isn't bad, dada is bad, dada is a religion, dada is a poem, dada is a spirit, dada is sceptical, dada is magic, I know dada.
My dear colleagues: good bad, religion poetry, spirit scepticism, definition definition,
that's why you're all going to die,
and you will die, I promise you.
The great mystery is a secret, but it's known to a few people. They will never say what dada is. To amuse you once again I'll tell you something like:
dada is the dictatorship of the spirit, or
dada is the dictatorship of language,
or else
dada is the death of the spirit,
which will please many of my friends. Friends.

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM

Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes 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.
Them poem will resemble you.
And there you are - an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.*

* Example:
when dogs cross the air in a diamond like ideas and the appendix of the meninx tells the time of the alarm programme (the title is mine) prices they are yesterday suitable next pictures/ appreciate the dream era of the eyes/ pompously that to recite the gospel sort darkens/ group apotheosis imagine said he fatality power of colours/ carved flies (in the theatre) flabbergasted reality a delight/ spectator all to effort of the no more 10 to 12/ during divagation twirls descends pressure/ render some mad single-file flesh on a monstrous crushing stage/ celebrate but their 160 adherents in steps on put on my nacreous/ sumptuous of land bananas sustained illuminate/ joy ask together almost/ of has the a such that the invoked visions/ some sings latter laughs/ exits situation disappears describes she 25 dance bows/ dissimulated the whole of it isn't was/ magnificent has the band better light whose lavishness stage music-halls me/ reappears following instant moves live/ business he didn't has lent/ manner words come these people

The selfkleptomaniac

VII

A priori, in other words with its eyes closed, Dada places before action and above all: Doubt. DADA doubts everything. Dada is an armadillo. Everything is Dada, too. Beware of Dada.

Anti-dadaism is a disease: selfkleptomania, man's normal condition, is DADA.
But the real dadas are against DADA.

The selfkleptomaniac.

The person who steals - without thinking of his own interests, or of his will - elements of his individual, is a kleptomaniac. He steals himself. He causes the characters that alienate him from the community to disappear. The bourgeois resemble one another - they're all alike. They used not to be alike. They have been taught to steal - stealing has become a function - the most convenient and least dangerous thing is to steal oneself. They are all very poor. The poor are against DADA. They have a lot to do with their brains. They'll never get to the end of it. They work. The poor are against DADA. He who is against DADA is for me, a famous man said, but then he died. They buried him like a true dadaist. Anno domini Dada. Beware! And remember this example.

Tell me the number and I'll tell you the lottery

VI

It seems that this exists: more logical, very logical, too logical, less logical, not very logical, really logical, fairly logical.
Well then, draw the inferences.
"I have."
Now think of the person you love most.
"Have you?"
Tell me the number and I'll tell you the lottery.

forget-me-not

V

A friend, who is too good a friend of mine not to be very intelligent, said to me the other day:
a shudder
a palmist IS ONLY THE
WAY PEOPLE SAY good morning good evening AND
WHICH DEPENDS ON THE FORM
THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN
TO its forget-me-not his hair
I answered
YOU ARE RIGHT idiot prince BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED OF THE contrary Tartary
naturally we hesitate WE ARE NOT (DO NOT) right.

I am called wish to understand THE OTHER
Since diversity is diverting, this game of golf gives the illusion of a "certain" depth. I support all the conventions - to suppress them would be to make new ones, which would complicate our lives in a truly repugnant fashion.
We wouldn't know any more what if fashionable: to love the children of the first or second marriage. The "pistil of the pistol" has often landed us in bizarre and restless situations. To disorder meanings - to disorder notions and all the little tropical rains of demoralisation, disorganisation, destruction and billiard-breaks, are actions which are insured against lightning and recognised as being of public utility.

There is one known fact: dadaists are only to be found these days in the French Academy.

I nevertheless consider myself very likeable.

since when?

IV

Is poetry necessary? I know that those who shout loudest against it are actually preparing a comfortable perfection for it; they call it the Future Hygienic.
People envisage the (ever-impending) annihilation of art. Here they are looking for a more art-like art. Hygiene becomes mygod mygod purity.
Must we no longer believe in words? Since when do they express the contrary of what the organ that utters them things and wants? Herein lies the great secret:

Thought is made in the mouth.

I still consider myself very likeable.

A great Canadian philosopher said: Thought and the past are also very likeable.

the three essential laws: eating, making love and shitting

III

We have always made mistakes, but the greatest mistakes are the poems we have written. Gossip has one single raison d'être: the rejuvenation and maintenance of biblical traditions. Gossip is perfecting itself, encouraged by the state-controlled tobacco company, the railways, the hospitals, the undertaking industry and cloth factories. Gossip is encouraged by the culture of the family. Gossip is encouraged by Peter's pence. Every drop of saliva that escapes from a conversation is converted into gold. Since the people have always needed divinities to protect the three essential laws, which are those of God: eating, making love and shitting, since the kinds are on their travels and the laws are too hard, the only thing that counts at the moment is gossip. The form under which it most often appears is DADA.

There are some people (journalists, lawyers, amateurs, philosophers) who even think that other forms: business, marriages, visits, wars, various conferences, limited companies, politics, accidents, dance halls, economic crises, fits of hysterics, are variations of dada.
Not being an imperialist, I don't share their opinion - I believe, rather, that dada is only a divinity of the second order, which must quite simple by placed beside the other forms of the new mechanism of the religions of the interregnum.

Is simplicity simple, or dada?

I consider myself rather likeable.

you will die

II

A manifesto is a communication made to the whole world, whose only pretensions is to the discovery of an instant cure for political, astronomical, artistic, parliamentary, agronomical and literary syphilis. It may be pleasant, and good-natured, it's always right, it's strong, vigorous and logical.

Apropos of logic, I consider myself very likeable.

Pride is the star that yawns and penetrates through the eyes and the mouth, she insists, strikes deep, on her breast is inscribed: you will die. This is her only remedy. Who still believes in doctors? I prefer the poet who is a fart in a steam-engine - he's gentle but he doesn't cry - polite and semi-homosexual, he floats. I don't give a single damn about either one of them. It's by pure (unnecessary) chance that the first should be German and the second Spanish. Far be it from us, in actual fact, the idea of discovering theory of the probability of races and the epistolary perfection of bitterness.

or all this drawn together in any old savory, soapy, brusque or definitive order - drawn by lot - is alive.
It is thus that over and above the vigilant spirit of the clergyman built at the corner of every road, be it animal, vegetable, imaginable or organic, everything is the same as everything that is not the same. Even if I didn't believe it, it's the truth of the fact that I've put it on paper - because it's a lie that I have FIXED like a butterfly on a hat.
Lies circulate - welcome Mister Opportune and Mister Convenient: I arrest them - they're turning into the truth.
Thus DADA takes on the job of the two-wheeled cops and of undercover morality.
Everyone (at a certain moment) was sound in mind and body.
Repeat this 30 times.
I consider myself very likeable.

evet kıskanıyorum hatta kıskançlıktan çatlıyorum. kendimi en az haftada iki kere ne yazmış bakalım diye blog sitesini ziyaret ederken buluyorum. futbol ve bir takım mmmen ve wooomen terciherine katılmasam da başka ne yazmışsa hemfikirim. sık aralıklarla blog'unu update etmesine hayranım. Paldır küldür yazılarının hastasıyım. bunu da yazmadan geçemedim işte... özendim özendim..

bir diğer hayranlığım da sayın Şahika Uğurlu'ya karşıdır. Kendisine şahsen ve sanalına da ayrıca hayranım. ( az önce gelen "Kokoreç ve midye dolma almadım" haberi ile yıkıldım. dikkatim dağıldı. bundan sonra kuracağım cümlelerden sorumlu değilim.)

Kurbağalarla geçtiğim iletişimde bana 4 rakamından duydukları rahatsızlığı belirttiler. 4 rakamının sayıyla ve yazıyla yaydığı titreşimden rahatsız olup ne zıplayabiliyor ne vıraklıyabiliyorlarmış. -bardağın üzerindeki kurbağanın yalancısıyım- Bana biraz zırvalıyorlarmış gibi geldi ama ses etmedim. Muzlarla olan konuşmamda ise gripten ve pırasalardan bahsettik. Ben de teneceredeki pırasaları yakalamakta güçlük çektiğimi belirttim onlar da bana "doğrama onları o zaman" dediler. Katliammış- pöh! "Lütfen tuzu uzatır mısın?" diye bir ses geldi. Ortalık kalem ve bardaktan geçilmiyor, sesin nerden geldiğini anlamadım. Vantilatörün sesi de öbür sesi bastırdı. Babil'de de hayat böyle mi geçiyordu acaba? Fatura kartları falan? İsa geçen gün telefonla aradı, dünyaya yeniden gelmiş, İskandinavya'daymış. Coğrafya cahili ben anlamadım bittabii -sualtındaki turuncu renk problemini çözmeye çalşıyormuş-muş. Afferim dedim İsa... Duvarıma astığım pizzalar bozuldu. Üzerlerinde peydahlanan canlılar evden kaçmaya çalışıyorlar ama pencereleri sıkı sıkı kapatıyorum. Geçen gün boruların arkasına saklanmış bir fil buldum. - Darwin benimle gurur duyuyor!- "Hamile fil yakinimdir" yazıyordu arkasında. Böbreklerimdeki ateş hücrelerime kadar nefret doluyum -Viva la nefridyum!- Karanlık odada balık tutmaya çalıştım, olmadı. Bantlarla meseleleri duvara yapıştırdım. Pizzaların yanına. Takvimde de 7 patolojik günü işaretledim, o günlerde şizofren olacağım. Hastalığımı renk skalası ile derecelendirmek gerekirse kırmızı tonlarda devam ediyor. Kalorifere bağladığım inek masanın üzerine çıkmış ordan bana bakıyor. Bu ineklerde saygı kalmadı. Işık kaynağının yarattığı kabarcıkların içinde kediler zıplıyor. Leğendeki su birikintisi torbadaki soğanlarla arkadaş olmuş, beni dışlıyorlar. İçerisi biraz sıcak oldu, yaktığım mumlar fazla gelmiş olmalı artı ben bu işten hiç hoşlanmadım.

"Kaç yaşındasın Joe?" diye sordu, Joe kendi çıplak bedenini incelerken.
"Otuz dört."
O halde, diye düşündü Juliana, savaşta yer almış olmalı. Fiziksel bir sakatlık göremiyordu; aslına bakılırsa uzun bacakları, oldukça dinç bir bedeni vardı. Joe incelendiğini fark edince kaşlarını çattı ve arkasını döndü. "Bakamaz mıyım?" diye sordu Juliana, niye bakamayacağını anlamayarak. Birlikte geçirilen koca bir geceden sonra bu iffetlilik. "Biz böcek miyiz?" diye sordu. "Gün ışığında birbirimizi görmeye dayanamıyoruz- duvardaki çatlaklarda mı gizlenmeliyiz?"

From the corpses flowers grow

SCIMETAR, n. A curved sword of exceeding keenness, in the conduct of which certain Orientals attain a surprising proficiency, as the incident here related will serve to show. The account is translated from the Japanese by Shusi Itama, a famous writer of the thirteenth century.

When the great Gichi-Kuktai was Mikado he condemned to decapitation Jijiji Ri, a high officer of the Court. Soon after the hour appointed for performance of the rite what was his Majesty's surprise to see calmly approaching the throne the man who should have been at that time ten minutes dead!

"Seventeen hundred impossible dragons!" shouted the enraged monarch. "Did I not sentence you to stand in the market-place and have your head struck off by the public executioner at three o'clock? And is it not now 3:10?"

"Son of a thousand illustrious deities," answered the condemned minister, "all that you say is so true that the truth is a lie in comparison. But your heavenly Majesty's sunny and vitalizing wishes have been pestilently disregarded. With joy I ran and placed my unworthy body in the market-place. The executioner appeared with his bare scimetar, ostentatiously whirled it in air, and then, tapping me lightly upon the neck, strode away, pelted by the populace, with whom I was ever a favorite. I am come to pray for justice upon his own dishonorable and treasonous head."

"To what regiment of executioners does the black-boweled caitiff belong?" asked the Mikado.

"To the gallant Ninety-eight Hundred and Thirty-seventh -- I know the man. His name is Sakko-Samshi."

"Let him be brought before me," said the Mikado to an attendant, and a half-hour later the culprit stood in the Presence.

"Thou bastard son of a three-legged hunchback without thumbs!" roared the sovereign -- "why didst thou but lightly tap the neck that it should have been thy pleasure to sever?"

"Lord of Cranes of Cherry Blooms," replied the executioner, unmoved, "command him to blow his nose with his fingers."

Being commanded, Jijiji Ri laid hold of his nose and trumpeted like an elephant, all expecting to see the severed head flung violently from him. Nothing occurred: the performance prospered peacefully to the close, without incident.

All eyes were now turned on the executioner, who had grown as white as the snows on the summit of Fujiama. His legs trembled and his breath came in gasps of terror.

"Several kinds of spike-tailed brass lions!" he cried; "I am a ruined and disgraced swordsman! I struck the villain feebly because in flourishing the scimetar I had accidentally passed it through my own neck! Father of the Moon, I resign my office."

So saying, he gasped his top-knot, lifted off his head, and advancing to the throne laid it humbly at the Mikado's feet.
