Question: is it a found poem when you read two texts, one after the other,
and are struck by how the lines take on DADA form?
Edmee Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture,
elder daughter of Count Henry de la Pasture,
fifth child of the Marquis de la Pasture,
and Lydia Rosabelle Bonham, called Betty,
whose grandfather had been the British consul-general to Naples,
were you just a passing fancy?
Too many bananas have broken my heart.
I'm moving on.
