Who was he?
THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE In a little town, Called Nowhere, There was a man, Who wasn’t there. Nobody knew him, He knew no one. If he had a name, It was known to none. He wasn’t heard, He had no routine. He saw nobody, He was never seen. He had no address, He had no home. He had no I.D. He had no phone. No one knows who he is, Or what it is he does. He’s the man who wasn’t there, And he never was. Michael D. Schafer © June 29, 2017

There are many men who are not there, we can find them everywhere these empty people. Sadly they have wasted so much energy being what others expect they have never taken time to learn who they are.

You found me, Michael! He's a real nowhere man... ...sitting in this nowhere land... Well, I'm sure you know the song. Love your poem. Makes me think you almost know me. Lol! Love and peace,

Reads like most indie writers' presence in the universe.

Superbly written in the style of someone who really knows. Reminds me of that old song, "Nowhere Man."

I hate to say it, but this sounds like me. No one knows who, where, what I am. Perhaps I never was. Loved this one, Michael, as I do all of your poems, perhaps moreso. John

So, if no one sees or hears you, are you there? Do you exist? Kind of like the tree falling in the forest with no around to see or hear you.

Sounds like a floating loner . . . I used to fit that description.
