No grandeur required, no extravagant facade
No need to stand out in a crowded crowd
No need to be odd
To be nobody or not to be somebody,
a timeless art you see.

PS: The poet is aware of the fact that only a privileged person, like her, who holds the luxury of social and cultural capital is capable of being a nobody. No Dalit or black or queer or refugee is free to be a nobody. But, the poem is consequence of her current schizophrenic state of being, something that modernity offered.
