I'm a Nobody? As if!

I’d ask ChatGPT
what Emily Dickinson might think
of transgenderism in America today,
but I’d prefer to know
if God blessed her writing infinitely,
with unending inspiration,
though she mostly wrote for herself.

And I wonder if all things
done alone, for oneself,
without an audience,
are likewise infinitely blessed
by God. ChatGPT would say she might
support challenging gender roles,
her resistance to norms
leading her to seclusion,
her prolific poems left unpublished.

But she did not experience writer's block—
    just periods of creative seclusion.

Yes, it’s in rejecting society
that we’re embraced by it
for centuries to come.

Ha!
        I knew it!
