00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:07.060 align:middle line:84%
Well despite being an exponent
of the work of OULIPO,

00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:09.640 align:middle line:84%
I've never actually tried
to write a poem using

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.660 align:middle line:90%
the "n plus 7" method.

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:14.410 align:middle line:84%
In which, you translate
a text, of course,

00:00:14.410 --> 00:00:19.120 align:middle line:84%
by replacing every noun with
a noun seven nouns ahead of it

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.590 align:middle line:90%
in the dictionary.

00:00:20.590 --> 00:00:22.270 align:middle line:90%
But this one seemed to work out.

00:00:22.270 --> 00:00:25.960 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to just
perform for you today.

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.510 align:middle line:84%
Given the nature of your
current political context,

00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:32.320 align:middle line:84%
I would say that it
constitutes a kind of collision

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.290 align:middle line:84%
between Tristan
Tzara and OULIPO.

00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:39.660 align:middle line:84%
I've entitled it
"American Dada".

00:00:39.660 --> 00:00:42.330 align:middle line:90%
Take a new world order.

00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.850 align:middle line:90%
Take a palace of scooters.

00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:47.400 align:middle line:84%
Choose an artificial
intelligence

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:51.570 align:middle line:84%
as long as the pogo stick
that you are planning to make.

00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:54.060 align:middle line:84%
Cut out the artificial
intelligence.

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:57.510 align:middle line:84%
Then cut out each of the
workaholics that make up

00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:02.310 align:middle line:84%
this artificial intelligence and
put them in a baggage handler.

00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:03.660 align:middle line:90%
Shake gently.

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:06.870 align:middle line:84%
Then take out the screams
one after the other,

00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:10.380 align:middle line:84%
in the order in which they
left the baggage handler.

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:12.660 align:middle line:90%
Copy conscientiously.

00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:15.090 align:middle line:90%
The pogo stick will be like you.

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:19.200 align:middle line:84%
And here you are a wrongdoer,
infinitely original,

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.960 align:middle line:84%
and endowed with a
separation anxiety that

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:27.020 align:middle line:84%
is charming-- though beyond
the underthings of the vulva.

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:30.000 align:middle line:90%
