A "just" nobody


Proverbs 6:28 

28 Can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be seared?

 

Nobody

 

What is a just nobody ... is that person really there?

What if I think myself nobody ... am I scattered everywhere?

 

Am I just an expression of whom someone sees

or am I what I think to be ... enslaved to poor old me?

 

Nobody’s fill the world ... appointed from within

in our subtle selfishness ... we gather them in a bin.

 

Maybe our vocabulary is so incomplete

that nobody exists and that is quite a feat.
