NICE TO BE NOBODY BUT ME...



Every time I open my Face Book page, and every time I turn on TV and see the great crushing crowds of the strident Presidential political campaigns, I think of Emily Dickinson's poem, and I smile.

I’M NOBODY- WHO ARE YOU? 
(Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886)


"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!"
"NOBODY BUT ME" RELAXING...
