Rules:
“The chimera of Homeric legend – lion’s head, goat’s body, treacherous serpent’s tail – has a less forbidding Oulipian counterpart. It is engendered as follows. Having chosen a newspaper article or other text for treatment, remove its nouns, verbs and adjectives. Replace the nouns with those taken in order from a different work, the verbs with those from a second work, the adjectives with those from a third.”

Alcuni oggetti
di reale borgata
infastiditi a Trullo
dicono adulti
sotto l’invasione
degli extra-terrestri
insegnati di scienziati
composti da ricercatori,
d’ipotesi d’esercito
e di apparenze,
al giusto bambino
dell’assurdità aggressiva
di favole coetanee.

Pensano una torta
che guarda il cielo.

Tarte aux tomates
