The Automated Poet

I don't know how to feel about this. Today I discovered a "Dada Poetry Generator" which basically asks you to write a small piece of text, then it scrambles all your words and gives them the appearance of a poem. I tried it with the last sentence from yesterday's post and added my own punctuation. The whole thing is pretty pathetic and counterproductive, but it's pretty entertaining.

Streets made of water.
Water streets of silence, empty.
The empty me, water like
empty streets, me of water.
Streets empty, falling like silence.
Streets empty, like silence, me.
