EMILY SPEAKING
Poem for Today - December 28. 2014
I'M
NOBODY! WHO ARE YOU
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d
advertise – you know!
How
dreary – to be – Somebody!
How
public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s
name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
© Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886
