I am solo
Yet one of two
I am separate
Yet one of four
I am individual
Yet one of sixty-three
I am unique
Yet one of ninety-four thousand
I am different
Yet one of sixty-two million three hundred thousand
I am inimitable
Yet one of seven billion
‘No man is an island’*
I am me

Woke up with it in my head – ran down the stairs to write it – notepad was missing!!!
Good to see you like it
