Presenting a chance operation: "Clues Officer Offer Aruous Women Their Future Course, In Infantry"

The dada style I was assigned was chance operation. A Chance operation is a poem that is out of control of the poet. So, I guess that the poem doesn't even have a poet, it has an assembler of sorts. The way these poems are created is by cutting up an existing piece (like from a newspaper, as I did in my own poem), and rearranging them randomly to make a poem.

I used the New York Times article titled "In Arduous Officer Course, Women Offer Clues to Their Future in Infantry," which you can access by clicking on the face of General Grumpy-Pants below. 

I cut out the words from the article that I thought represented the spirit of it, and then I randomly taped them to a piece of pink paper. This style seems simple enough at first because it takes little brain-power. At first, I felt like this poem couldn't be art, because it really isn't created by an artist. However, the words that were chosen to be arranged are specific to the artist's feelings about the original piece. Also, I feel that this could be used as a meditative exercise, mainly because in allowing the words to fall where they may, new ideas can come about.
