the opposite of hot dog        is fondest dark light

circling in the pool by Jack’s still life its opposite


separate        volumes        charge


the names of light comes in waves or properties of weakness

flashes that last        billionths of a billionth

see        our relationship among bullets        is how rainbows work


light forces my eyes        to different effects

such as radiation comes from a lamp in your house

Jack’s light shares professional devotees        divorcees in wigs

as in how we stop an apartment on fire from burning

from each atom occurring in transition

passing and never touching         in the neighborhood


light        reflecting         light       passing        light        reflected


Jack’s waves go out and spread in quiet

soft lenses of color beats the radio in theory or

go out        this is a display         is how rainbows work
