Choric Counsel Poem by William F Dougherty

Choric Counsel



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.
