To make Routine a Stimulus
Remember it can cease -
Capacity to Terminate
Is a specific Grace -
Of Retrospect the Arrow
That power to repair
Departed with the Torment
Become, alas, more fair.

What we see we know somewhat
Be it but a little -
What we dont surmise we do
Though it shows so fickle
I shall vote for Lands with Locks
Granted I can pick 'em -
Transport's doubtful Dividend
Patented by Adam.
Somehow myself survived the Night
And entered with the Day -
That it be saved the Saved suffice
Without the Formula.
Henceforth I take my living place
As one commuted led -
A Candidate for Morning Chance
But dated with the Dead.
All men for Honor hardest work
But are not known to earn -
Paid after they have ceased to work
In Infamy or Urn.
An honest Tear
Is durabler than Bronze -
This Cenotaph
May each that dies -
Reared by itself -
No Deputy suffice -
Gratitude bears
When Obelisk decays.
The pungent atom in the Air
Admits of no debate -
All that is named of Summer Days
Relinquished our Estate -
For what Department of Delight
As positive are we
As Limit of Dominion
Or Dams - of Extasy.
The Sun and Fog contested
The Government of Day -
The Sun took down his Yellow Whip
And drove the Fog away.
The Voice that stands for Floods to me
Is sterile borne to some -
The Face that makes the Morning mean
Glows impotent on them -
What difference in Substance lies
That what is Sum to me
By other Financiers be deemed
Exclusive Property!
'Twas fighting for his Life he was -
That sort accomplish well -
The Ordnance of Vitality
Is frugal of it's Ball.
It aims once - kills once - conquers once -
There is no second War
In that Campaign inscrutable
Of the Interior.
Oh Shadow on the Grass!
Art thou a step or not?
Go make thee fair, my Candidate -
My nominated Heart!
Oh Shadow on the Grass!
While I delayed to dress
Some other thou dis'st consecrate -
Oh unelected Face!
