A narrative prose poem set in the mid-twentieth century. A man rents a room where he plans to host weekly poker games, but the home is haunted by a poltergeist whose supernatural screeching and tantrums disrupt the games. Years later, the man's niece imagines what sort of violent history must have taken place to bind the spirit there.
During his tenure as host of TV's The Price Is Right!, Bob Barker made it his mission to advocate for the spaying and neutering of pets. He ended nearly every episode of the show reminding us to do so. Even after he dies—even after we all die—his mission will not end.
