Index Entry

Coil:

"As curves-- lines--

Cannot re-enter or

'Join back into themselves,'

The circling line

Can only wrap around

Or pass over or under another 'part'

Of its continuity self--

As the knot-making machine

Sailor says it.

Because of a line's inability

To re-enter itself

When the circles are followed

Around and around upon themselves,

The result is a Coil

Which is a mildly

Asymmetric spiral accumulation

Which may be piled upon its micro diameter self

Only as long as intellect wishes to consider

Such an experiential investigation."
