By Tabitha Ashura
Hasbro says pass go
Fingers divine
from worlds beyond
Eight years old
and speaking
to spooks
Planchette paces
Curran calls collect
penning the finest poems
Operator channels
Seth speaking
Alpha zeta Satan
Joshua Tucker, Stephen Young
modern male malevolence
did it tell you?
Song Dynasty spiritualism
Ideomotor mysticism
No, no; non, nein
Patented communications
with malevolent spelling
Yes, yes; oui, ja
Goodbye
