The Thing

I do not think it is a phone. The poem states that it is not for anyone...a
phone always rings for someone...it doesnt just ring by itself...one person
has to be trying to get into contact with another person if a phone is
ringing so it has to be something else.

Could be anything...

It could be anything. A phone. An alarm clock. Death. The thing is, why is
it that we trying get just one answer? Monotheism? Why not pantheism? Such
a Christian mind, huh?

the thing

When reading and teaching literature we should ensure that first thing
student always know is that the reader creates the meaning in conjuction
with the words on the page. This is nothing new or even post modern that
fellow whats his name it doesnt matter just decided to right an essay about
it. this has always been the only honest way to read academia just lost
sight of that. put this as the first thought in a readers mind and they
will love reading and have no problem understanding almost anything
(finnegans wake may still take time)
