Dearest Emily
A lyrical response to Emily Dickinson's "I'm nobody! Who are you?"
Dearest Emily,
Hello, I am nobody, too!
Just like you.
Perhaps they would
relate to us- too!
I do agree to be somebody
Would be
Quite dreadful
In the swamp of life
chirping all the time-
Nobody answers to nobody,
You see
I answer to me
I couldn't do that if
I was somebody
But I'm not,
I'm just me
But you see,
You are just you, too
And you do
See me,
So, let's just be
A pair of nobodies.
You and me
Miranda and Emily

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
