Choric Counsel
(Juvenalia, draft.)
Mammon commends winks and ledgers,
cardboard clocks and painted clay,
chants a chiding chorus
in conventional dismay.
Chalice and gavel defer to pen
if words invest and not inveigh,
scolds a goose-glide chorus
in monophonic gray.
Socratic frisk unnerves command;
nods and shrugs relax, repay,
quakes a crinkled chorus,
robed in papier mache.
