May Day Cut-Up: Three Telegrams from Comrade Lenin

[TranquillityBase]

A cut-up is really neither prose nor poem.  The cut-up process often creates accidental poetry.  What you do with it next is up to you.  I read somewhere that David Bowie used it to get inspiration for lyrics, but it's been around under that name since the Dadaists in the early 20th century.  Maybe earlier, I forget.

As for epistolary, I think that you can't get much more epistolary than a telegram (in Lenin's day).
