No lives matter

Who am I? Nobody. What do I know? Nothing.

Try it yourself, it's wonderfully liberating.

Don't really get it love. All I know is that I just want to grill. Can you explain?

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!

Oh ok I did not realise that it is a poem. I assume you take the happy homeless guy approach to life :D

I don’t know that the person you were replying to was necessarily referencing Dickinson’s poem. But it seemed apropos.

Dickinson was neither happy nor homeless in her life so your conclusion is ignorantly asinine and shows a keen inability to understand art. And though she was not famous in her time, today she is recognized as one of the great American poets. But I’m sure BLM will find a statue of her somewhere to tear down since she was white. Perhaps you could help them?

did not know what asinine meant until i google searched the word. I am not entirely literate in english. I do not think that she was a homeless and happy person although to be a homeless nobody with nothing attached to your name, nothing to live up to and nothing to lose is to some ultimate happiness. Like that Greek guy I think he was called Diogenes? Have to google search that :)
