(a pantoum)

dada doubts everything
we were all dada before dada
rebel against bourgeois society they said
rebel against the human condition itself

we were all dada before dada
dada will amount to nothing nothing nothing
rebel against the human condition itself
sweep sweep clean they said

dada will amount to nothing nothing nothing
dada is not a beginning but an end
sweep sweep clean they said
dada is everything and nothing at the same time

dada is not a beginning but an end
rebel against bourgeois society they said
dada is everything and nothing at the same time
dada doubts everything
