One butter knife, yellowed and cracked, its handle worn with overuse.(wabi-sabi).
Six teaspoons of stainless steel variety, undetermined origin.
Three corkscrews that all worked differently.
A black pen, mizzled.

One metal skewer, carbonised.
A handfull of workaday knives and forks of the ordinary kind.
A stainless steel strainer, slighly spotted with rust.
A fowl fork with three prongs.

Very much like the concept/context of wabi-sabi.

Maybe its what the poems about- the broken-ness of things. Thanks for claryfying.

A concept piece for sure.

I'm not a big fan of conceptual art, but conceptual poetry I can go for.

Just come back from Krakow and we visited a 'modern' art place, and on the whole, what a crock of pretentious nonsense. YET, if your piece here was presented physically, would I feel the same? because i like it, I like the history of it.

Dunno.

That said I point you to - viewtopic.php?f=20&t=21470&p=179092#p179092

I suppose it does come off a bit like "concept art" but that's not how it's intended. Sometimes objects have their own life which I was trying to get at. Maybe Ill have to Simic it up a bit. Thanks for the response
