Aught, no. 2 (1998)
Jason Nelson
Odds or Swing
push mood's flippant reel to reel
project a dispenser turning
back like side's sticky hold
film loops through spool's close riddle
search the switch turns power or over
surge swinging inflection
washed the temper
can crank frames
tone for the itch of light's asp
iration
glass curve
is an eye
pushed up on the rope
knocking left over straight open blind
knock
foreground colors
color blink
farther up lenses tied
five billion knots
the lens is a rope's
unraveled wire
