Bathrobes & House Slippers by Tim Koberstein

This piece was taken from the archives of the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Library on Marian University's main campus. It was originally published in Volume 56 by the Fioretti students of Spring 1998.

By indifference

and a little preparedness,

you too,

could begin again.

Stealing your place,

from the bigger animals.

Baring your teeth,

and pushing others,

out of your way.

Maybe if your fur,

didn't shine too much,

you could eat alone.

And put as much sugar,

in your coffee,

as you want.
