Voyeurs?
Are poets spies upon æsthetica?.
They watch events around them through keen eyes,
(From the overall generality
To the minutest of particulars),
Whilst noting with descriptive acumen
Their stimulation of, (or by), the most
Diverse, (or perverse), sensual cortices;
At each climactic moment they observe
Cause and effect, æsthetic force: they seem,
For those brief periods, themselves to be
Part of the new experience they learn
But yet — somehow detached and uninvolved
However intimate such scenes’ intensity —
Like avid voyeurs viewing pornographia.
