The Cut-up Method

I can accept the connection between the cut-up method and hypertext. But the connection between poetry and the cut-up method is more difficult for me. Often when I read poetry, I find the language beautiful, yet am often lost as to its meaning. This is not to say that I fail to develop my own understandings of the piece, I just fail to accept that I am correct. I know this brings up a controversial debate, whether or not poetry and literature has any one meaning, but I still tend to think some meanings are more on point than others. The cut-up methods fusion with poetry seems to dismiss this; granted it is only one form of poetry. All the same, the fact that when I read poetry done in the cut-up method and have a similar sensation as that created by a more traditional poem, I can't help but question the value of poetry and its validity as a communicative art form.
