Reminder: insights and solutions to mysteries within will be posted next week. in the meantime, I would love to know your thoughts and what meaning, puzzle, riddle, hidden or otherwise you are able to glean from this piece

All By Myself

All by myself
I am sitting here
No one to see
Less seen to do

Perhaps poorly chosen
My location of here
Seeming much less
That most over there

With too few around
And those too far away
I shall be here exploring
Alone, with none others, today
