"In that very moment which life doth fade away
Ejected from my human shell exempt from time or space"
^^ Seems to be about his last few seconds alive, making the transition to death.
"Not in chronology but so wildly all at once
An open dioramic rendition of events"
^^ Simply, his life flashing before his eyes.
"What kind of man does the assembled puzzle read
With soul spread open wide I calmly contemplate my destiny"
^^ The puzzle and panorama are metaphorical pictures of all of the little fragments of his life flashing before his eyes, and he's trying to determine whether or not he led a good life, and maybe in that split second he's trying to figure out where he'll end up.
