Notes About The Poem

Play on e. e. cummings’s poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” and Emily Dickinson’s poem “I'm nobody, who are you.” 


 

I don't want to live in such a town

I don't want to live in such a town (with up so floating many bells down). where noone's respected, and anyone's rejected, and strangers are shunned ~ red, yellow, and brown.
"i know nobody, how about you?” “omg, yes! ~ i know nobody too!" and then our worlds became so much better, because nobody had brought us together, and who woulda thought that that was something that nobody could do?
