What is your bear?

Bear In Mind by John MartinA bear is chasing me through a meadowand I ’m running as fast as I can buthe ’s gaining on me—it seemshe ’s always gaining on me.I ’m running and running but alsothinking I should justturn around and say,“Stop it! Stop chasing me. We bothknow you aren ’t going to catch me.All you can ever do is chase me. So,think about it —why bother?”The bear does stop,and he sits on his haunches and thinks,or seems to think. And thenthe bear says to me,“I have to chase you, you knowthat. Or you should. And, sure,we both know I ’ll never catch you.So, why not give us both a break andjust stop thinking about me? ”But, with that said, he gets back on four feet,sticks his long pink tongue out, licks downboth sides of his snout. Then he sighs, looksbehind himself, then at me and says, “Okay,ready when you are. ”
