Hang - by Debbie

 THE CREEPY THING IN THE CORNER

A conversation piece,
my grandmother called it.

She bought it at a garage sale
years before I was born,
the price haggled down
to four dollars
(she boasted).
It could be in a museum
but instead
it hangs in the corner,
toes downturned,
eyes vacant.
