The Monday Poem:<\/p>\n

STARTING A POEM
\nby Robert Bly<\/p>\n

You’re alone. Then there’s a knock
\nOn the door. It’s a word. You
\nBring it in. Things go
\nOK for a while. But this word<\/p>\n

Has relatives. Soon
\nThey turn up. None of them work.
\nThey sleep on the floor, and they steal
\nYour tennis shoes.<\/p>\n

You started it; you weren’t
\nContent to leave things alone.
\nNow the den is a mess, and the
\nRemote is gone.<\/p>\n

That’s what being married
\nIs like! You never receive your
\nWife only, but the
\nMadness of her family.<\/p>\n

Now see what’s happened?
\nWhere is your car? You won’t
\nBe able to find
\nThe keys for a week.<\/p>\n
