the bear is quietly political

drinks tea

does not answer the phone
our work
our soul
is in
our chest
some of us manage
to be vulnerable as naked
in private

some need holding up
in sight from my window
so,
must we write about it before we forget,
before  people come and disagree?

they have small waists and a  national costume
my goodness
such a thing to see while out
and about

such a high up place to be
slipped sideways.

while all remains the same, something is different.
the idea left us dancing.
use what is already there,
make do and mend
