Angel in daylight but demon at night
The angry ape does his best to flee
The shining beams of providential sight
Always least likely in the dark to see
Simian ego at its very worst...
Where, free from fettering enlightenment,
The urges of the id go uncoerced
By the wiser cerebral complement
So closely neighboring the id's own eye,
Yet, baffled by itself in a mirror,
It spies its mock doppelganger awry
And trapped in a psychic interferer
Long notorious for snaring the soul...
With some narcissistic rigmarole.
