I'm Nobody! Who are you?

In this poem, I believe the message conveyed is that those who are beneath society's notice are truly lucky in life. They do not have to deal with the crowds of people who admire and swarm them. The poem is somewhat unconventional, with its numerous breaks that are signified by the dashes and how it flows. One moment its moving fast, then it breaks with a dash. Some of the word choices, such as the use of "the livelong june" and "admiring bog" speak towards its age and the period it was crafted. It is arranged as if it were a conversation between a person, with the speaker speaking to a fellow nobody.
