The writer describes teenagers worshiping Oden in a Pittsburgh cellar in the form of an Arizona reservation totumpole.

The writer joins the cellar worship to the reservation image through a form described as totumpole. The fragment gives no further account of the ritual or the teenagers' actions.

Four handwritten lines describe 'Teen agers worshiping / Oden in a Pittsburgh cellar / in the form of an Arizona / Reservation totumpole'.

The note stacks three borrowed sacred images, a Norse god, a Pittsburgh basement and a totem pole, into one picture of teenage ritual. It reads as a comic or satirical seed for a cellar scene, and the phrase 'Pittsburgh cellar' ties it to the book's title.
