Transcript of A small bear story (1)
And what about all those people
staring at them all day long. And
taking flash photo after flash photo
even though they weren’t suppose
too.
And the night wasn’t even that
dark, because the polar bears lived
in a zoo next to Memorial Drive in a
big money city with big bright lights.
It’s possible that with the endless
click click click of the
cameras, something went click
click click inside the head of one of
the polar bears.
The one polar bear would
swallow enough water to sink
himself to the bottom of the
small pool in the zoo enclosure.
He would lay there, hoping against
all hope that the weight of his
mammalian bulk would be enough
to keep him from rising up to the
surface again.
Not in the privacy of night when the
zoo is closed, but in broad daylight
as the people watched and their
camera’s clicked and their flashes
flashed.
It’s almost like those polar bears
were trying to tell the people
something, doing the do in the
broad daylight like that.
The one polar bear didn’t leave a
note and the other polar bear didn’t
really understand anything. He was
just doing what the one polar bear
needed him to do.
