Baylor Bears
A statue appears in my view
It’s of a bear; gazing through
The small crowds of students walking
Shuffling their feet; talking
The bear’s fur glossed against brown wood
Back arched upward; lifting a paw as it stood
Some time later, I walk through a path with paw prints
Carved lightly against its graying hints
Screens of glass enclose the walls
Natural life inhabiting; amidst the sound of soft footfalls
Two bears appeared through the glass
Their log-colored fur in a mass
Glistening against warm sunlight
One is lying down, the other is staying upright
The bear trudges along the grass with big paws
Claws scratching through the surface as if they were saws
She soon starts turning around; rotating
Attempting to lie down; evaluating
The bear’s pink tongue peeks out
Puffs of air float as she is slouched
She remains in an observing state
Like my dog Brownie; laying down in wait
Her eyes pulsate
Through the sun; in a pure state
An innocent hazel like Brownie’s eyes;
Breathtaking and crystalized
The second bear lifts its head lazily
At brief glances; her eyes averted hazily
I snap some pictures
Of these big bears in their fixtures
I leave the glass enclosure
Away from the bears and their splendiferous exposure
