House Is My Name



House
is my
name

House is my name, I’m open to some,
hidden to those without means.
My hat’s name is roof
and it likes to lick rain,
it drinks and it gurgles in gutters.
I have many doors to enter me whole,
I have windows that look into my soul.
Sometimes I crack, get broken into,
sometimes my guests leave me dirty.
I get slept in, arranged, painted and slapped,
I get locked and unlocked to the world.
I am many and few, single and none,
yarded, concreted, made up to look
gold. I am bought, I am sold, rented and leased,
most people just want me
to spend time inside me
so come take a look, open my doors,
come inside please!

Now time for my lame 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:

André Breton

“The man who cannot visualize a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot.” A man most associated with surrealism, Breton was also a Dadaist in his early years (whatever a Dadaist really means). The French writer was a champion of a shared Dada/Surrealist method called automatism where creative works are mostly produced spontaneously without constraints, planning, and overly conscious thoughts. After a brief medical career, where he took a major interest in mental illness, Breton moved to Paris where he would soon join the Dada movement and play a major part in its beginnings in France. Breton appeared in the first Dada performance in Paris in early 1920 which was the start of many provocations and controversies during that same year and in the years directly after. One of these performances included Breton appearing with a revolver tied to each of his temples. “I do not think that the nature of the finished product is more important than the choice between cake and cher...
