Asking questions with Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson(1830 – 1886)

I’m Nobody! Who are you?

(This poem was written in 1861)

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 dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog
To tell your name – the livelong day –
To an admiring Bog!
