Polar Bears
I think about the polar bears
And it makes me sad.
My wishes are potato chips
I can’t have just one.
The universe expands
And my mind contracts
The rocks on the ground are stars.
I found one for you
while walking home today.
I put it in a small brown box
In case our paths cross
Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: Thinking about the polar bears makes me sad too. Saving a star in a small brown box might not change the world but maybe it will bring a little happiness into it.
