Dada Is My Name


Dada
is my
name

Dada is my name and my name is Dada
and I

eternalise the world with identities.
I fly and I kite and I screw
with trivial profundities, smoking
without ever smoking, without ever
being, a dada blob under your shoe

I stretch to the moon and I shrink to the earth
to beyond the tiniest atom. I climb up every wall
to display myself proper, pasting my news
as your wallpaper. I’m old but unborn
colouring every world with mixed suppers

I crave and I meditate on small mountains
abstaining myself for cool shoes. I lose
and I win daring to be sold, throwing myself
to the lowest bidder. I bing and I bop to zinga
the cran, shouting my name like its meat

Did I mention my name is Dada? Dada
is my name? I understand your martyred
caring and hope that it springs through
the air to every aired corner and planet.
Dada is my name, stop shouting in my

ear and taste the new thing beginning,
now ending, beginning, I’m DADA, I’M DADA, I'M DADA


Now time for my anti-dada moment that I share with all my named friends…

This is the T-shirt and Hoodie I wear, the poster I see on my wall:

Vino Is My Name

Vino is my name Vino is my name, my twin brother is Wine, the same Wine who recently bragged on this blog. There’s not much difference between us, we just have different names, our colours are mostly red, white, and pink. My nickname is Vin, bonjour, rouge and blanc, au revoir to everyone who doesn’t imbibe me. Everything is just grape!, Chardonnay and Shiraz, Rose, Pinot Noir, and Grenache. Of course, Rose is not a grape, but let’s not dwell on that, drink Champagne! Prosecco is awesome, I love sparkling, as much as I love my calm and still friends. Sniff me and Taste me, take in all my juice, Get tipsy, relaxed, or what they call Drunk! I open mouths and great minds of all different sizes, speaking of which, I wait patiently in different sized bottles, cans, glasses, and barrels, to be served and enjoyed, but mostly in 750ml bottles to share.
