Thought
a found poem and yūgen, the fact that poetry lies within things as a particular way of thinking and you can pull it out through creative thought and consideration. Being conscious of a moment or context
Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them.
Students compose poems using only words, phrases, or quotations from a text that they find meaningful.

What I am focusing on here is having objects, or text and viewing that text in a different way that allows it some kind of altered form.
Seeing things in the environment. You must be clever about it and unlock this view of things (I’m not saying it is difficult, or supreme or gatekept, but that it takes a side-channel kind of thought).
I want to think of a poem that is that whole kind. Not a fragment. So you take an entire paragraph of text and make that a poem..
A Photograph as a found poem
There is a relationship to a form photography. You have unlimited opportunity to take a photo, however you are conscious of a particular moment or context of environment and this is when you take the shot.
Imagine some classifying machine that can describe what it sees in text. A life of this classifying machine would be pages and pages. You provide some frame to the world, a simple context. The poem that it speaks is now that image.
When watching someone prepare themselves for a photograph, for certain people their aspect changes. They become more practiced and deliberate in their photogenicity attempt. Are they finding a poem in themselves at that time?
Being Present
See, a favorite something be it a book, or movie or anything. At one part it must engage you (call you to it, and keep you to it), but you must also be observant of it and receptive. You can’t just open up your phone, or start up a conversation (though it could be a certain workable case in the later).
Imagine you favorite book, but a snake is on your lap. Imagine your favorite movie, but you are deprived of sleep.
Accidental Renaissance Photos
This relationship is here, in having a mundane scene rendered in artistic context. (some back and forth of reality viewing itself artistically)
From Absence of Clutter - Minimal Writing as Art and Literature
The borderline dividing what is a work of poetry from what is not is less stable than the frontiers of the Chinese empire’s territories. Novalis and Mallarmé regarded the alphabet as the greatest work of poetry. Russian poets have admired the poetic qualities of a wine list (Vjazemskij), an inventory of the tsar’s clothes (Gogol), a timetable (Pasternak), and even a laundry bill (Krucenyx).
Reddit Deletion
There is a tool that deletes all trace of a user’s account on reddit. But it does this not through actual deletion but by replacing the words written with dada-like gibberish.

Method Acting
A method actor will find valuable emotional material in the world around them, according to Stanislavski. Some feelings are more valuable objects than others, for they are more richly associated with other memorable events.
It was long ago-I came upon an Italian, leaning over a dead monkey on the sidewalk. He was weeping and trying to push a bit of orange rind into the animal’s mouth. It would seem that this scene had affected my feelings more than the death of the beggar. It was buried more deeply into my memory. I think that if I had to stage the street accident I would search for emotional material for my part in my memory of the scene of the Italian with the dead monkey rather than in the tragedy itself.
