Morning Execution

Preside over my dreams
a solitary granular 
      ::--> within the 
center of it all
within the center of a wall

Days from birth  when I OPENED
MY EYES within the center of it 
                 all
the center of it all
(you were not born blind)
oh, oh, ooh...see so much  more

And something happened so the 
 spirit bravely took it's place
(oh i could tell you how)
I'm a black star in red/white sneakers
(...to survive here on Earth).

The impossible!  Gravely watching
\how we love & die and give
