"Lucyna Lobod,
From Wroclaw
(Southwest Poland),
Went to the Other Side
And came back.
She reported that
She had met there
Various Gods
One of them,
Named "Universe"--
In charge of our planet--
Was worried about us.
Universe told Ms. Lobod that
A comet was on its way
and would wipe us out
Unless we found
A pharaoh's mummy
And placed it in a sarcaphagus
In Cheop's Pyramid."
I listen attentively
To my stepmother's chatter
To keep her from changing the subject
To my father's "acting out" at night
When he doesn't know who and where he is
And gets lots on the way to the bathroom.
