Priority Apollo!
Trading dreams for inspired verse
Is a poet's bargain with the muse
In an epicyclic universe
With complexities to reuse,
And despite the scale divergence
Betwixt the universe and brain
There's a conceptual convergence
Only metaphor may attain,
Which so often makes a rhyme
The very pinnacle of thought;
A clockwork intellection chime
Marking aspiration's beauty spot;
That hill a soul would die upon...
As marvelous as Helicon!
