call again they have not yet assigned
her number to another person despite
two years of absence due to death
Grace Paley (excerpt) from "Fidelity" (Farrar Straus Giroux, $20)

No curtains here, no chandelier to raise;
She takes the low stage and begins to peal
Long airs of anguish, to distracted praise
From the gourmands of opera and the meal.
She wears the helium shoulderpads of dresses
