In the Middle of the Universe, I Stand

1 In the middle of the universe, I stand- A mere earthling by stomping on sand raise hands to the gods forever at odds How to call square at the end. 2 I am in the center of all Awe-struck wide eyes at the ball I am six feet tall Can I say no to death call? 3 In the middle of the universe I stand I exist, come and exit and life is never bland I am an old quark for Mr. Marks and receive my bills firsthand. 4 I am in the center of all In my eyes deepest passions roll, In the fringes of Milky way I stroll, "I know my voices are dying with the dying fall"* cf.*The Love Song of J.
