Column Chronicles: If Dadaists wrote world history, part 4

If Dadaists wrote world history, part 4

This year we have read how world history would have be presented if written by the art and literature movement based on deliberate irrationality and the negation of traditional artistic values? Dada. Now, let us read their definition of world history:

World History (as a proper title) is documented through a wide spatial place inside the mind, but World History does not always, if ever, see the world as a unit. Though never planted as a fruit, the world of WH (World History) reflects the zones of tool mastery, decades of ducks and waddles and waddling battles and whispering despots, bogus and boisterous and downright fat, who ruled territories beyond surgery and afterbirth.

Our historians see the thick horseshoe of national picks and axes and divide them into grapefruit sections of time, energy, handcuffs and the dinosaurs that married the surrounding castles of political pregnancy.

Each century waves debonair cortisones from dusk till dawn and hundreds of years past melt into odors of generational skunk juice, all of which we properly inscribe before the elk stampede in the tents of mankind's more subtle elbowed redemption.

Human kind has always been poorly distributed through green lands of any people from that area and when light was discovered, only the blind could snort the energy and pass it on to their young ones, the youngest who were just born and the carpenters of vulva that stitched their longevity. We harbor the past in words for that reason alone, though the watershed is the truth of all that shouts for the sake of a damsel's beans.

One day, maybe more, generations will sit by their flowerbeds and discuss the wars, the piece, the bloody statues, the power-bending corkscrews and even the priests off bombardment so as to know what came before and learn from the anal passengers of man's first redundancy.

To explain is more a waste than a barrel of ruptured chimps, yet we have done just that, here and now, so that World History (World first, History second) shall teach the baccarat players of years to come and paint the others chartreuse of forever hold their parsons at bay.
