## Dadaist

Input some text, output some poetry. 

> 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.

— from Tzara’s “Dada Manifesto on Feeble & Bitter Love"
