The tigers arrive, amiable, languid, sauntering in with swishing tails. | |||
They belly up to the counter for chips and dips and cookies and cheese. | |||
Their eyes slant with pleasure; their whiskers redden with wine. | |||
This is, as always, a free assembly: there are no traps, no whips; | |||
there's no coercion. | |||
From their places on the small, hard chairs the tigers make a show | |||
of flashing white fangs at the ringmaster. He smiles. | |||
He knows they wouldn't be here if they didn't enjoy it.}} | |||
