make colorful reflections

even if layered in grime,

dirt-gods got shine despite plot

taught to deal from the bottom

of the deck by delinquent

dad - that’s the hand I was dealt

C.S.X.T.C. - debut EP of train clack boom bap

C.S.X.T.C. bandcamp

About a week ago or so, I finished up a music project called C.S.X.T.C. with a young producer named Finn Downey. It is hip hop but probably sounds experimental to mainstream ears, thick of words, thick of sounds, and mostly relating to trains. It is train clack boom bap. It is really great shit, and it is also pay what you want (which means zero if that's what you want). Support it if you want, listen to it if you can, love it if you like.

monuments to white men turn

green from mildew culturing

itself, exposing the truth

second-hand mixers collect

dust inside dilapidated

campers mentioned yesterday

Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like An

Eagle" permanently takes

psychic A1 position

dilapidated campers

adorn strange bird tribe compound

wherein dirtgod builds nonsense

it was never determined

whether King Charles inserted

or concealed that last dagger

happy buddha commandeered

earth-moving tonka truck, hauled

off miniature miseries

so much backyard busy-ness

conducted, answering phones,

scribbling notes… all that real shit

dirtgod realities stain

me for eternity now - 

can’t escape my blemished life

expensive weddings never

made sense to me; I'd rather

spend that money being broke

at times buzzing overwhelms

me; I shut down main breakers

briefly, just to catch my breath

 behind every great man

cast in concrete memories

is destructive weaponry

the tangle of existence - 

twisted histories hiding

inside self, choking at smiles

never did ride trains like I

had daydreamed about; now I'm

firmly family-rooted

christmas morning bicycles

become background fodder while

fading through photo albums

a google buddhas laughing

through infinite multiverse,

creating flange symphony

traveled back roads, tried my best

to escape obscurity,

but only feel safe unknown

river-born dashing jokester,

bound to be trickster as well

due to raven genetics

chaotic clusters of wires

transmit mankind's monkey-head

nonsense through techno-magic

picking repressed memories'

locks, untangling the demons

hiding behind slammed shut doors

most Polaroid memories

blurry at best; instant then

was way different than now

wasted lands accumulate

assorted detritus piles,

withered down by scrabbling hands

introspective reflections

from a plastic society -

am I still real? for how long?

Rojonekku Word Fighting Arts issue II

Second issue of my latest (& greatest) zine now available. Limited edition of 150, with custom haiku in red ink in a box on the back page along with edition number. These can be obtained:

at WORKINGMAN BOOKS STORE PAGE

also at resurrected WORKINGMAN ETSY SHOP

You can subscribe (support) at the first link as well, if you so give a fuck, and eventually minus the 3 saved and 15 given as creative tithe to artists I like, all 132 subscriptions will be sold out and wait-listed and you won't be able to get this. But for now, there's a bunch of them laying around under my desk, including copies of issue I still.

In Issue II is the following pieces gleaned from my heart & brain:

• INTRODUCTION TO ROJONEKKU WORD FIGHTING ARTS II
• FURTHER THOUGHTS ON ASSASSIN KNOWLEDGES OF RAMMELLZEE
• YAKUBTIVISM
• INTERNET TRAPPINGS
• NEW EARTH WRESTLING
• ONE THOUSAND FREE NEW WRITING TIPS
• YAKUBTIVISM CLARIFYING SPRAY PLUS SPACE WHO OWNS IT
• FREESTYLE SONNETS TRIPLE TRANSLATION FILTER
• CROW OF CONSTANT SORROW
• RANDOM NOTE ONE
• RANDOM NOTE TWO
• DEDICATION
• OUTRO MOTION
• SOME THOUGHTS AT THE ENDISH OF THIS THING

It is quality nonsense gibberish, as always. If you have any questions about the zine, or really about anything, hit me up in the comments.
