Fence Is My Name


Fence
is my
name

Fence is my name, I’ll get up to greet you,
or instead I’ll surround you with wood.
People put me up, knock me down,
paint me different colours,
write obscenities on my chest,
like to tag me with spray,
punch holes through my body,
occasionally for glory,
nail me and screw me,
fasten my core,
play me as sport at an Olympics.
Make me HIGH,
make me low,
separate from existence,
but mostly separate me from my neighbour.
I’m mostly hard, sometimes soft,
if left long I might rot,
Fence is my name,
Let me divide
and surround you!

The Origins, and non-origins, of DADA

The origins, meanings, and beginnings of Dada are shrouded in DADA mystery. The following will alternate published (and on-the-record) Dada origin stories with Dadaismyname’s completely accurate/non-accurate/dadaDadaDADA information on how Dada came about and is still coming...
