That's another point, isn't it, of course -
Here are no surprises. It has become dull.
wishing another journey, some quick way
for the ordinary to be found as still extraordinary,
composing itself to shocking baggy perception,
strong hale cognition surpassing itself

Not the shift in the last stanza with the multiple (3) recurrent "ing"s!
Much or none of those in the previous stanzas. The "ing"s draw attention to
themselves, I find, & take a sturdier, well footed poem off-metric,
"mentaling" as it were, me thinks.
