"I'm Nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you - Nobody - too?

Then there's a pair of us!
Dont 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!

TJB: Anyone out there? In a pair of ballad stanzas, in search of a reader, the poet summons cuteness & bleakness (& exclamation points!) to her service.
