Question: What is the meaning of this poem (10 pts)!?
I'm Nobody! Who are you!?
Emily Dickinson

I'm Nobody! Who are you!?
Are you - Nobody - too!?
Then there's a pair of us!?
Don't 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!Www@QuestionHome@Com

BOG also means toilet, To be someone else bog is to be where people would go to throw their waste and make themselve feel better about themselves by throwing all their negativity into a Bog!. Thus calling someone a bog!.
