Ouch! Definitely the other end of the spectrum from are you going there. I enjoyed how you have us searching with you for you and the disgust to find only an anonymous little tittle that surely must hold the place where you should be in someone's story. I've been that comma myself in a significant other's life and I've been the story teller putting a comma (and honestly felt generous doing so) where someone once was. Fantastic writing. You put me on both sides of the dot.comma

this is a reminder that I don't need assistance of any kind to find significance in my own insignificance. to find that my name is not in the social register comes as no surprise. it requires great effort to be so excluded from such registry which is always on the make to have you become part of the club, which Groucho once said, he would not be a part of, any club which would have him as a member.

In that line, third from last, did you mean "find" me? That aside, I really enjoyed the rest of this, but especially "some other world you've manufactured." It's like, no matter where this person goes, they're making it their own.

...george, a hologram of life, somewhere in all of us is this need to be sooo much thoreau says the young man gets together his 'stuff' to build a castle here on earth or a bridge to the moon and at length [finally] decides to build a woodshed...we all build woodsheds, we are all simple, just some are noted and yet we are so much Walter Mittys. glorious write for the common man, i thank you.

where i am is really unimportant and is insignificant, save that this blit of a moment where i am is into this fine write

A bit of wry humor here - I really enjoyed that second to last stanza - pinpoints many of us. I like the mix of the book and the inet.
