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

Provenance

The Ocean claims provenance of potential to be a never ending vision linking lands and providing a platform to float until the madness recedes into the past and each day renews itself as dawn turns night over to the new day

Objectives In Motion

by Sam Flot (twentyten)

Testing this destiny

Manifesting my own testimony

Sending away fears and phonies

Clearing all obstacles

Insisting on natural beauty

Collecting my transient thoughts

In sentient bunches of track-bound travel

Selective perceptive and direct

Im not resting until everything’s done

I will not sit, I will not stand still

I am in motion, informing my intentions

Of my will’s determination

Objectives in motion

Require action

To stay in motion

Objectives in motion

Require action

To stay in motion

Nice To Meet Me

Nice To Meet Me

by Sam Flot

Hey, remember the time

The river jumped lanes

Wrong way going

Like bright light at night

Offering sudden sight or

When everything goes

Off into the ether or

On out of the middle

Matters not to me

Constantly following the driven talents

Anywhere the universe is given balance

And

If I am my universe

I am my own god

And

Since my universe is part of me

My universe is everything I see

If indeed a god defined there must even be

If I look in a mirror I see me

I see this illusion earth moon stars and sun

As much as I am ready to know

Is already inside me and bursting to the surface

From the middle of the meltwater lakes inside my head

As everything happens all at once

Everything happens all the time

Nothing ever starts or stops

Nothing ever starts or stops

Which way the river flows

Doesn’t matter as much as

The fact that the universe is infinite and

You will come to find

The boundaries you follow

Are the one’s your brain retains

No more

No less

No more

No Less

Happening all the time

Never starting never stopping

It sure was nice to meet you and

I hope it was nice to meet me…

SUNNY FOG NEST

Before the Ink Runs Ou...

Before the Ink Runs Ou...

By Sam Flot 4.12.ten

Like a piano player piano

Pre-wrapped in perseverance

Selectively disbursed

As if momentarily

Redefining the moment

Of wind or light

Window bursting through doors and

I saw it all

In the dark reflection

Of the black veneer

Surfacing gently

With the rarest of rarities

Subtlety and sensitivity

Adjusting each stab with uncertainty

Insisting attention be paid up front

Nothing stealth about it

All scattered plaids and free jazz

Circumstantial blown tires

If the magic is happening

Get it down on paper, get it down on tape

Before the ink runs out

Before your memory is full

It Is Yours!

It Is Yours!

Tapping into the sap

From the middle of the tree

The core still left sight unseen

Left unprotected by the wood bees

Lapsing back

Into an unexpected trap

Collapsing in fact

As if the truth isn’t stacked

It’s bloated and forgetting how

Even the truth should act

Semaphore warning

Totally intended

To leave me stuck here

With no pretense of

Alarm for the random

Chased all the gremlins

Back into their kingdom

Never following the left behinds

Never spoke out loud like this ever at anytime

Concrete and aware

This is my land

Have it

It is yours

This is my house

Live in it

This is my coat

Wear it

This is my food

Eat it

This is my water

Drink it

I will share it all with you
