Jal Nicholl


A circular preference ordering

short circuits
the execution
machine

the refrain
returning
via the bridge
over the sacred
river
the same foolish
passionate words
echoing:

"hypothesis"

"luncheon"

"precipitation"

I was doing fine
till I tripped
up on the question
about where
the famous
statue lives

ha

the girl who got
the money
in the end
didn't know either



Jal Nicholl lives--in Melbourne. He writes: poetry and poetry reviews, most available online. He has a backstory which is that he would like to write a novel.
