There's Nothing Wrong

Special Haiku Edition

Found this piece on my desk t’other day. I quite like it.

Nice Faux People,

I’m going to keep this one brief, like a Haiku.

Actually, I’ll start with a Haiku, as suggested by my chef, Marty Fay.

Here goes:

Zero in one hand

infinity in t’other

micro macro mensch

Feels good to write a poem for poetry’s sake, I highly recommend it.

Today’s song addition to the “Mixed Up Files” is a super-simple a’cappella improvisational demo that I sang into my iPhone on April 19, 2015.

Listen here:

I took out some gnarly squelching sounds and added some reverb in Adobe Audition t’other¹ day, but this is the idea as it popped into my head, essentially.²

This strikes me as a recent piece, though it is already 8 years old.

My sense of time has been bent.

Today at the trampoline park, my son asked me why I do a newsletter.

I said it is helping me to keep the flow of art out-going while I slowly create new art.

I think he got it.

I hope you get it.

I remain your humble servant,

OX&C,

Faux Jean

Here are the lyrics:

There's nothing wrong
I'm not mad
I'm not sad
I was just looking out the window
And there's a storm coming in.

1. I’ve used “t’other” four times in this epistle if you count this footnote. Underused construct in my opinion.

2. It sounded like I was chewing gum while recording this.
