Somebody's Perfect

Who am I? 
To make such a bold claim as—
Is there anybody out there?
Allow me how.
When nobody is looking…
No-body isn’t ever; 
humane.
Let alone human.
You are somebody and I…
Who in God’s name is;
humane?
Nobody is!
Nobody is, for lack of a better term, inhumane. 
Somebody is always looking.
You are who you be. 
Be who you are.
Perfect may not be quite so normal.
Nobody is ever; 
normal.
Last time I checked—
Normal was right up there, along side, with perfect.
Perfect is possible.
Especially when 
nobody’s looking...? 
It’s normal to accept failure.
Typically coupled with such a bold disclaim as—
Somebody’s Perfect!
