I see no harm in ego-less surrealism.
A poem is often about what a reader brings to it anyway.
And cries of horror or outrage or tsk-tsk-ing at this sort of thing are so predictable. Now that surrealism has been co-opted by advertising or by dull poets who needs to brighten up dull patches in their verse--it's salubrious to remember that it provoked the same sort of reaction: automatic writing (albeit without a machine), scandalous! What will become of literature?!
I'd certainly rather see twitter used this way than for the usual inane shallow conversation.
