William Carlos Williams - The Thing 

Each time it rings
I think it is for
me but it is
not for me nor for

anyone it merely
rings and we
serve it bitterly
together, they and I

i reckon the thing should be an alarm clock which i set up for myself.But neither i nor any other will be happy to accept it when we have to get up from the cosy bed !

i believe this poem is either about the opppression of the different religious institutions or about the stifling traditions and conventions.
