nobody

[arethinn]

This confuses me some. I can't tell if it's supposed to be a take on the Emily Dickinson poem or not.

(I'm sure I have the linebreaks and capitalization wrong here, but I am trying to do it from memory, so I beg your kind indulgence.)

I'm Nobody.
Who are you?
Are you Nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us.
Don't tell --
they'd banish us, you know.
How dreadful to be Somebody
How public -- like a Frog --
And tell your Name
the livelong June
To an admiring Bog.
