The Daily Glance (The Kollectiv Series)
Chris Pusateri's Molecularity is a book that plays with sound. As a sonic experiment, the content of the work seems secondary, especially since many words repeat in ways that shift meanings. Sometimes such experiments can be tedious, but this one is not. In fact, I wish this one came with a cd of Pusateri reading it.

In many ways, lines like these are assonance experiments. Just look at the s's and w's in the first line and the c's and f's in the second line. Add on the anaphora, and the lines become sound play, with the spigot perhaps just beings the vocal cords/mouth cavity. One could even go through this book looking at the arrangement plosives and fricatives (and glides, considering the first line here). It's short enough to be exciting without being overwhelming.
