Somebody



I AM somebody

I WAS somebody

! WILL be somebody



Of course, these are all true statements

Because we all are somebody.

Right?



So, dear muse,

Why is claiming this title

So full of loneliness?



With nearly 8 billion other somebodies,

Somebody ought to see me.

But here I dwell. Nothing to see here, move along.
