In a Crowded Room by Fran Long

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 36 (no number) by the 1977-1978 Fioretti students. This particular picture was taken from the handwritten and handbound rough copy.

room full of people, persons, objects, things

Everyone talking

Everyone talking

Everyone talking at once

yet no one talking to me

Not a foreign language,

do they speak?

But it well might be

I am here

who

would

ever

know?
