Objet Trouve
By Sam Flot 6.12.ten
Finding found objects
Subject to recognizance
Of self determination of merit
Favored for look or feel
Sentiment or strength
Salvation is revolutionary
Coming around again and again
On circuit off circuit
Light, dark, light, dark
You cannot make yourself clean
If you didn’t get dirty
Calm becomes calming
Engine rumbles past
Dogs bark, leaf blowers blow
None of it matters
Calm becomes calming
Becoming calming becoming calming
Like morning sun
Coming over eastern mountains
On the west coast
This farm is quietude and solitude
It is growing serenity and clarity of purpose
And
It is fruitful
It is growing the fruit of artistic intent
It is growing seeds found the world round
Gathered on every step, journey, trek and hike
Objects found and appreciated
A lifetime made through practice
Of objet trouve or found art
and
The Art of Farming
Is often considered a lost art
But I think it’s a found art
fer Johnny and Elizabeth
and Rio Gozo Farm
