Narcissus vs. Worldly

Ye strident deliverers
Of rationality wisdom:
Participant contributors
Lovely society's disbelievers
Individual things, compromised
Stings; faded to track the numerical
Strings; sophisticated theory and simplicity
Faith, Jungian mystery with the ducky god
Quack; institutional power and leadership
Bliss, these mirrors you shatter and lakes in which
Piss; founder of days and weak to your years
Living a century with ne'er any fears
Tell us your story, we'll listen to rapt
But your pages will feed not a path-map
Rather the fire, started with your sap
