Shock the Monkey

I'm caught in a quandry between my brain and my eyes.
The one insists on depth, the other merely size,
But in a dazzling display of both variety and scope,
While the one has thrown off training like an undesired yolk.
My better angels try to tell me when–and not–to try,
While the TV shows me goals enough to fill my insect eyes.
I can change everything I am to get what I'm told I want,
Or be only what I am, and mostly pleased with what I've got.
