In “Word Count Is a Guillotine,” Wall Street Poet Robert C. Ford turns his omission from a newspaper article into a dryly funny spoken-word take on recognition and cultural gatekeeping. Paul Kostabi (White Zombie, Youth Gone Mad, Psychotica) supplies jagged guitars and raw punk energy, while Ford recounts the slight with understated humor—turning a missing name into a wry declaration of artistic presence.
