Objet Trouve

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
