The Moralist

      Camus the moody moralist
      Buzzed surreptitious honey from
      His single hive and hornet's nest;
      Pulling new worlds from a book
5     Or referencing dull ideas
      With a visionary Look.
      How could human Ingenuity
      Which hammered out the clock
      Waver self-deceived
10    By dumb tick and tock?
      Time and times lie multiplied
      About the center I decide.
      Every science focuses
      Itself into my hand,
15    A moment in a mirror
      Or clear/obscure magnifying glass
      Shows wide world's very locus is
      Within what I demand.
      Where weird energies weave
20    Into stark perceive
      And Blake's Glad Day
      Dances in a ray,
      Manifest neutrinos
      Become what we know;
25    Calm consciousness intrudes
      As deep as dream concludes.
      The body and its hazards
      Implant supreme desires;
      Closed cells open to the skies.
30    At every zig and zag the spirit veers,
      Recovers, and then discards
      The momentary mire.
