The Man and the Bear
A man and a bear
sit on a beach.
watching the surf.
The man sees lines
of rolling breakers
coming in sets of seven.
The bear doesn't see
any fish.
The man feels the
offshore breeze
whipping his hair.
The bear smells
sun warmed grass,
but no food.
The man senses that
the time is right
to surf.
The bear
does not surf.
The man picks
up his board
heads for the sea.
The bear watches
and is hungry.
