They use big words
in the class
proto-modernists, transcendentalists
and call for a close reading
of her art
they tear her words apart
to get a fleeting glimpse
into her elusive charm
I speak only to her-
Emily I am there
only because
I understand your 'slant',
and am the nobody
just like you
- the one you looked for !
* Emily Dickinson the famous American Poet.
