The poem Order in the Streets Donald Justice
was hilarious to me(but not in a ha ha funny way). When you read the section under the title says the poems comes from instructions from a kids toy and then you read the poem it doesn't seem at all like that. After the first stanza the toy seems very violent and realistic. I understood how that article led to this "found" poem
.
1.2.3.
Switch on.
Jeep rushes
to the scene
of riot.
Jeep goes
in all directions
by mystery action.
Jeep stops periodically
to turn
hood over
machine gun appears
with realistic
shooting noise.
After putting down riot,
jeep goes
back to headquarters.
I think the stark difference between where the poem was found from and how it actually turned out is what makes it so great!
