Robert Bly Quotes

BAD PEOPLE
A Man Told Me Once That All The Bad People
Were Needed. Maybe Not All, But Your Fingernails
You Need; They Are Really Claws, And We Know
Claws. The Sharks - What About Them?
They Make Other Fish Swim Faster. The Hard-faced Men
In Black Coats Who Chase You For Hours
In Dreams - That's The Only Way To Get You
To The Shore. Sometimes Those Hard Women
Who Abandon You Get You To Say, "You."
A Lazy Part Of Us Is Like A Tumbleweed.
It Doesn't Move On Its Own. Sometimes It Takes
A Lot Of Depression To Get Tumbleweeds Moving.
Then They Blow Across Three Or Four States.
This Man Told Me That Things Work Together.
Bad Handwriting Sometimes Leads To New Ideas;
And A Careless God - Who Refuses To Let People
Eat From The Tree Of Knowledge - Can Lead
To Books, And Eventually To Us. We Write
Poems With Lies In Them, But They Help A Little.
