Subjects Have Points of View

Subjects become Objects in their own eyes,
And see things in a distinctive light.
I know because I've seen myself
Made subordinate to an active verb,
And left the dangling participle on a canvas.
I've seen the artist impose her will,
Imitating God,
Letting there be light, making man from dust.
I've come to terms with being prepositional,
With having a Word define my place in a sentence,
but having meaning of my own.
