A: You posted a poem on your blog
Well the joke's on you buddy, because we posted a link to a poem.
An excerpt from Helen of Troy Does Countertop Dancing
by Margaret Atwood:
but I come from the province of the gods
where meanings are lilting and oblique.
I don’t let on to everyone,
but lean close, and I’ll whisper:
My mother was raped by a holy swan.
You believe that? You can take me out to dinner.
***
Read the entire thing here. (It's short, but long enough that we wanted to link away rather than copy and paste.) Atwood wrote the poem in 1939, published in a collection from 1995 called Morning in the Burned House.
