the flat sheet of the tundra is wrinkled, wide, white and shrinking
when i see polar bears swimming i think "swim you dumb bastard swim"
learn how to swim
the rest of you evolved and moved south to the great northwest or maine
why couldn't you do that?
you had to stay behind
the last holdout of an ignoble tradition
you'd better swim you dumb bastard
you should have evolved
if you can't the world won't have a use for you
did it ever?
and i will not come to save you any more than you will swim to the mainland to learn how to ride a tricycle for the russian circus
that's what the other bears did
they evolved
they pedal tricycles in the russian circus
they balance on balls
they eat scraps of tainted meat in between tazings
while you swim into oblivion
and the history of your existence is fossil record and corpses shot by teddy roosevelt for the museum of natural history
why didn't you survive?
you can ride a tricycle
can't you?
