Bear Poem
by Christopher Golden
You saucy bear. You know me.
With all your bear like thoughts.
You probably think of me when I’m naked. I like it.
You’re a bear.
You’re always naked. Or clothed? Do you feel naked – because you look naked.
Would you like some of my clothes?
And a nice dinner?! – oh, I’d really like that, to make you a nice dinner.
Filet mignon, oven baked asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes with ginger.
That would be nice.
Tasty.
Just the two of us, alone, together.
You,
a bear,
me,
a man
(guy?). – you’re not a vegetarian are you?
We could drink wine, good wine. I’d splurge for you,
a bear.
We could sit by the fire, get a little drunk, share stories of our childhoods.
Me,
a naked boy,
running around,
unclothed.
You,
a naked bear cub,
running around,
unclothed.

Charlie Sheen
Is flying over Libya.
Who would have thought
An EC-130
Air force psy-ops
Death machine
Dubbed Sheen
Would be dropping
Bombs
Deployed in
Benghazi or Tripoli
Have you tasted oil berries?
They are delicious
But stain
Teeth, tongues
Fingernails and the
Whites of eyes
Black.
Protecting
Is winning
Bombs which
Kiss their muscles
Sinking into desert arsenals
Near seeds of oil.
Sheen,
Let’s dine
And smile with
Blackened teeth
Tongues and eyes
As we twist
Our finger nails
Into our ears

Gorilla Man- Fancie
This is a song my friend Elisabeth Wood wrote for her music project, Fancie. It’s about an experience she had with a gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.
