Footnote: Cool, No Need For Flipflops (A Tanka Sequence)

Flipflops are good for
unnegotiable sites or
moments:  not really
the morning rush of bathrobes
enroute to bathroom's relief.

 

They told us both
"Flipflops are for bathrooms.  Three
classes daily, and
meals; then the dorm---barefoot all
day, what need is in bathrooms?

 

Grass between my toes;
her bare feet on mine beneath
library tables;
on the observatory's
tiles, cool:  no need for flipflops.

 

Even on the C.

B.:  "moving barefoot,"

means no boosters, and
no enhancements:  the box's

voice is clean, no tampering.
