For many people, found art is primarily tangible, substantial, visual. It is about objects removed from context - and sometimes modified - by the artist, given new context, new significance by being chosen, removed, re-placed, re-visioned as art.

There's always been found poetry out there, too - one of the more well-known mass media examples would be Simon and Garfunkel's "Silent Night/Seven O'Clock News."

I find that my spam filter is a fine source of found poetry, and here is today's poem.

Which too resplendent
At carmela it chysolite
it is unicorn
in a mack.

A variant (in order to make folklorists consider the oral underpinnings of this lyric):

When a unicorn is driving a mack truck,
you better get out of the way,
or like caramel splattered on crystal,
you'll be resplendent all over the pavement.

:-D

'resplendent' ... 'chrysolite' ... 'unicorn'. I can confidently identify a strong romantic influence, even though I don't know what it means.
