Balling Buddha, a multicolor confection printed on pages in the six colors of the rainbow, rather than traditional black on white, introduced Giorno's signature split lines running down the center of each page-as a way of both reproducing the multitracking used in his sound poems and perturbing the linear flow of text on the page.
