Survival Strategies of the Young
Survival Strategies of the Young
Our last house guest was tidy
and hungry. Alice ate no bread
with her jam. Rent was paid in ten
cent pieces and stolen property.
She came in through a window
and left when we showed her how
to operate the door. Alice caught the bus
out of town, taking nothing of ours she
couldn't carry. Later, she will learn
the difference between right and wrong
and literature.
