This mural on Rideau St. is 7 years-old and faded.
The mural in it’s entirety is not as exciting as each individual face.

Charlie Zero embraces Beat Poetry, & bytes 21st century’s tech.
Resa @ GLaM 0 reviews Charlie Zero’s new book @ Robot Dreams Inside A Plastic Soul!

CZ has a message, & does not stray. Nor, does he shy away from vocabulary. This means you might want to have a dictionary handy, but don’t utilize it until you finish reading the poem at hand. IMHO, just read the poem & let your mind turn words into images. Good chance you will come to the same message/conclusion/advice or question that Charlie did.
After the fact, I found it fun to search the words I didn’t know, only to find that in context of his work, I did know.
Obviously & ultimately, it’s not just the words Charlie uses, but the way he employs them.
Yet, Charlie can take the simplest of words and forms to create: the amusing, { “Colonel beef-fruit”} the didactic {“…multiply in zeroes.”} and the unnerving {“3, 2, 1 …boom!}”
MY FAVE
At this point my fave chapter is “Advanced Mushrooms [The Kodak Man]”
In this chapter I found CZ”s current & topical messages revealed themselves most easily. This is especially evident in the poem “Mozart: The Orange Apocalypse”
CZ’s book of poetry is a like an artistic experiment, that has unlocked the DNA of words.

In a very old area of Ottawa, Chinatown,
…paints its doors and windows.
Doors to apartments
Boarded up doors
Restaurant windows
And the many doors to the apartments over the small independent shops
