All I need do is to cook eggs in a pan
Whose handle sticks out from the stove
Instantly, my mother's ghost is there, telling me
Not to be so careless. On Thursdays
Admission to the Cleveland Museum is free;
Ghosts pay half-price so I invite her
To visit her friend Girl Who Has Been Angry
For Three Thousand Years. The Museum
Calls her "Ancient Figurine of a Woman
Or Goddess, possibly of Vinca origin"
But that's not her name. They're wary of her;
She once bit some docents trying to stop her
From distributing union literature to other statues.
