Bear With Me



Even young bears are spotted,
Roaming around...
In the streets of downtown Hartford.
Connecticut!
Wondering to wander a main thoroughfare.
Seeking for answers.
As if them to be found.
In the air or on the ground.
With a knowing that whatever it is going on,
Something has gone wrong.
Needing it corrected and soon.
And done to nolonger ignore,
To have bears in broad daylight...
Exploring to investigate for themselves,
Why it is from out of the forest...
They have to come with a hoping to assist,
Those who seem incapable to notice...
It is them and not the bears,
Unconscious of their mental instabilities!

'Did you personally witness this bear to see?'

No. Not personally.
However,
Nor was I the one to video the bear...
With a taping its every move,
Today on Albany Avenue.
Done to have believe,
The bear followed was in costume!

I live here.
And a bear to see roaming the streets.
Looking confused yet intelligently?
Comes to no surprised to me at all.
People who live in suburban areas,
Have spotted bears looking to find...
Something to eat.
In their kitchens and after taking a swim,
With other bears in their backyard...
Swimming pools.

'No...way!'

Yes...way.
To later hear the people say,
These undomesticated to underestimate...
Animals can not be that intelligent.
And not one has threatened anyone,
With a gun.

Yet...
Folks will travel into the depths of woods,
Looking for Bigfoot, aliens.
And anything else outside of their own habitat
To film and capture something
Not seen before.
