BOOM
kettledrum strike
there everything lies FLATTENED
again raging violins cello's basses copper triangles
drums KETTLEDRUMS
raging running raging running RAGING RUNNING
STOP!
drama in full swing whores snakes flinging themselves at honest
men the family wavers the factory wavers
honour wavers lies down
all concepts FALLING
HALT!
It helps if you understand the context - this was written not long after WW1, so the imagery of the orchestra and all the percussion is to some extent a metaphor for pounding guns and cannons, while the chaotic layout, the frantic pace at some points and the occasional all-caps words also have to do with the feelings of stress and disturbance one gets during war (the collection it's from is called "Occupied City" for a reason).

I'd heard of Apollinaire, but I hadn't seen these before, kinda neat.

And the poem in the link was cool. I was surprised when it started moving.

Yeah, obviously the moving is an addition of the guy who put it online.
