For he’s the super realist

who must perforce perceive

taut truth

before the taking of each stance or step

in his supposed advance

toward that still higher perch

where Beauty stands and waits

with gravity

to start her death-defying leap

–“Constantly Risking Absurdity (#15),”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
