I’m simply trying to say that a jump-cut can’t accurately appear in a poem because there is no linguistic unit equivalent to a film frame.
Collage is something quite different from a jump-cut. Collage is more to do with film montage techniques, and so can appear in poetry, as you point out.

I agree with you, Robin. Jeffrey, you do seem to drag whatever it is on and on, to what good, I have not a clue. What will a categorical definition of a 'jump cut' replete with example "A" provide you with? I am trying to understand what is your genuine motivation other than to drag this on and on. What is your definition of "satisfaction"?
That said, in terms of Sonnets, Ted Berrigan's book "Sonnets" is a masterpiece of collage cuts that 'jump'. Written right around early Goddard et al, but with a visual history of collage behind or in front of him. But, Jeffrey, have you read this work by Berrigan? It might just be your ticket.
I am just not sure what ground (poetic, history) of which you are apart and particularly interested in. Antique, modern or present??
