Earth time...

Dadaism was born of the brutality of World War I.  Disillusioned artists of all disciplines, affected by the degradation of social structures, repressive cultural values and unquestioning acceptance of such a war, rebelled against the status quo. A loosely affiliated network of artists and poets, originally clustered around Zurich, adopted a subversive and revolutionary approach to visual art, performance art and poetry. They sought to destroy the hoaxes of reason. The focus of their work was not so much on beauty or appearance as on the ideas the work conveyed. The Dadaist movement laid the groundwork for abstract art and sound poetry.

I've cut up the first poem and chose words randomly to make it a true dada poem....mia culpa for not doing it right the first time;)   Please read what others have written over at the pub for some.  I'll have to cut it up and  good entertainment!  It really is not dadaist..

EARTH TIME

We track the minutes between labor pains,

almost always can guess the time or hour

Eons have gone by, dark and ice ages

"Time, time, time is on your side" -

"la de da da dee"

Some people have enough time in their lives 
to read lots of books, 
yet keep up their multiple blogs and zines 
Time is a gift

Exactly how much time does it really take 
to write profound melodies -
how long is a laugh, a sigh,
how do you measure "chance"?

Carl Sagan spoke of billions and billions 

of light years and stars going by 

My alarm is set 5 minutes fast

On the 7th day 
the Lord took his rest-

                                                             and J Lo wears tight pants                                                                                                                                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guess what time it is - eons gone by,

  profound gifts -  the Lord's blogs and zines,

Laugh a melody,  between the Dark ages,

 stars going by, 
Write a billion chances ahead of  

billions of sighs  

Carl Sagan's alarm is set 5 minutes ahead

 The ice age is on your side,  
multiple light years,  

 enough time to 
read the hours between people and books 

- and J Lo's wears tight pants 

                                                  to take to the 7th day                                                

always enough , measure of rest

Light years in minutes
 labor pains, 

exactly keep track

La de da da dee
