The center of the universe

I know the feeling of how some people
push you away to the edge of the universe. 
Hard against the wall of time from which
nothing recovers and you can't hear yourself. 
That's a prison from which escaping is tough. 
But I reckon later, there is all else to cheer up
when a poet proclaims that he feels he is the
center of the universe. A tremendous change 
from the edge of the universe into the thick 
of things. I read along and I too am welcomed 
into this center of a universe where,
the poet is already sitting in a quiet corner 
having a drink and feeling more like 
the center of the universe.
