everyone thinks
they are unique

every trouble
and torment
theirs alone
to endure

until they open
a novel or
a newspaper
and find
their travails
already
experienced

suddenly, they feel
like they are
on some grand tour

just part of
a study group

with a tour guide
pointing out

the unknown
they didn't know
was known
that he knew

such a sudden
kick in
the ego's ***
