Tragic hero, coupled and juxtaposed with chorus
you are witness to your transience and continence
you are a formation of structure and will
conceiving and believing in nominal value
as though yours is to bear witness
to the object not valued
self contained, a thing in itself as a work of art
each to itself, perceiving and conceiving
each a work of art that does
the artist as his or her own fiction
yet, still part of the All
and all that the All does is dream
