I am an "empty sonnet".
Why, you might ask, are you an "empty sonnet" Andy? To that, I would reply: "I am an empty sonnet because I am structure and function without substance." I have a body, and a mind fixed and settled by my societal up-bringing. I am a framework of suburbanite existence. I am a law-abiding, educated citizen of this federation. Upon completion of my post-secondary training, I will enter the workforce as a highly skilled working machine, and I will succeed at waking upon the sound of an alarm every morning; 6 AM sharp.
God help me.
After 13 years of intensive education, I have yet to learn the subtleties of waking upon the sound of an alarm.
Despite this brilliantly engineered framework, I have failed my masters design. I am nothing but a silly boy.
With love,
Andy.

Dear andy,
yes, you may just be this silly boy
and i know you know there's more to you than a hollow vessel
but i wonder,
all those people out there thinking all those thoughts
and knowing that none of their thoughts mean one iota in this world
and that they are just silly little people
changing nothing
thinking nothing special
being nothing special
but who says what we are supposed to be thinking and saying and doing
because if the person who thinks like that is an empty sonnet,
god is no john donne
the fact that i have to address you as "stranger" bothers me greatly.
