The following is a series of Dadaist and surrealist poems that I made using Burroughs' cut-up technique. If this garners enough responses, perhaps we can collect the translations into a document for others to peruse.
Thank you for your interest, effort, and time. Let the challenge begin!

Unmerciful world,
You of us are mother,
here our language high and silvered,
with the calm I answer.

It wasn't until I had quoted you that I even saw the poem. I was about to write "The following what?" The stupid new look of the board means I can't tell where people's signatures begin, so I just completely blocked out the meat of your post because my brain decided that was a signature. Rahrg!

I tried to use the code block, but it didn't allow me to underline the poem's title.
Mold: all original ideas,
shadow and noise words: hidden body text;
It's a subconscious mindset.
Hide all contact points on the invention of the displaced feeling
and his subconscious thoughts.
I felt a lot of pain sensations from sleep;
body that joins the recognition of the word,
ordered flexibility of painful feelings.
Comply with the rules and syntax of common identity.
Painful feelings know no grammar.

I have the same problem. But I think it's also shanoxilt's fault for using a confounding [ hr ] there. What is that doing there at all?

I am used to Reddit's formatting synax; I assumed it would look similar.
