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. Alfred Prufrock
Lines 49-54 (T.S.Eliot)

Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination as your magic pen danced and brought forth such profound thoughts. Emile.
