about

From the self-published chapbook, An Island of Childless Offspring, Pulp Massage is a rhythmic venture through Sketches of Style, fusing synth percussion with shakuhachi flute, frame drum, and guitalele, all musing on fresh, improvisatory vibes with true sound originality.

lyrics

Matter disguised as her unfolding paradise,
A genital incision, without,

Brewed spawn all quaking and facing heart failure
With thick-rimmed glasses and a paranoiac daze,
A thin glimmer of repose

Infuriated golden gnome,
Lowered into blissful gardens where human hair is felt as weeds,

Useless triviality
In the maze of Puritanical property and stubborn consensual heavens
Drowned in blue time,

Glowering in the thick mud of some academic panegyric formulae
Wherein tumult and insult meet over lunch to discuss Baudelaire in rhyme -
“And the scurrilous frankincense
Nose of his Biblical haunting awakened
Through a Pulp Massage
Over bellies skyrocketing with future’s ragged predictions”

At the all-night table
Proposing to wed anger and the twelve-headed classicist dream

Paying striptease Eastern minds
To wade in inglorious pain and rush, philosophically insane
Throughout our comedic taxicab drive, breaking through

Oceanward,
Where the thumb and nose meet at the spun wheeling whys,
Whose greed lurched from above the lily swamp and naked,
Pressed their white head to the diamond name,

Giving laughs as praise to the only answer ever
Sought by a young grave, breaking ice and calling for a break between pauses

Rusty Kjarvik Brooklyn, New York

My ancestors are from the lands in and around what is now Norway, Poland, Germany and Greece. They lived above the Arctic Circle, spoke Yiddish, were Romaniote Greek, English settlers during the revolutionary war of America, and from Germany pioneered in 19th century Alberta, Canada where they also took Blackfoot names. They were buried in religious fame; and so I also go by Menachem ben Asser. ... more
