Washing-Machine Archaeology
History
passes, and so do washing machines
Rattling
and spinning to the end of their span
Their
dutiful cleanings cleaned out at last
Whited
sepulchers around silent drums
The
householder as Howard Carter finds
Behind
a dead machine “Yes, wonderful things!”
Clothes
hangers, metastasized dust bunnies
Inexplicable
stains that hiss and spit
And
in a midden, he discovers with a shock -
Almost
embalmed – that famous long-lost sock!
