It's Still Life

A heart
in too many fragments
scattered the streets,

and his spirit walked with
a thought
and a heart.

Definition of Remixed Found Poetry, to quote The News York Times Found Poetry Contest Rules: “Reading, selecting, and reorganizing words involves the reader interactively in making meaning through the text. In creating a found poem, the reader becomes a remix writer who through rearrangement and layering creates subjective, personal interpretations[1]. The theoretical understanding of Derrida’s philosophy and deconstruction is inspired by Bernstein’s commentary on the ethical-political horizons of deconstruction[2]. In “finding” or “remixing” this poem; the original text was the palette from which to choose words. The format and limitations of the task became the technique with which to create the work of textual art.”
