Sunlight bleeds through the pines
There’s a bear on the path before me
A strange man approaches from the rear
I run towards the bear
Because I know what it wants
But the man will stalk me until he has what he wants
Just as he does the deer over there
Thus I run to the safety of the bear
Without fear or care
