The Secret Bear
No one knows about the bear.
No one hears him talk to it
of stock market shifts, or corporate strategy
as he travels.
He calls the bear, Michael,
and keeps it in his briefcase.
He is thinking of acquiring a little girl doll.
Secretly he imagines caring for her,
but he is not sure how Michael
will feel about that.
A businessman's life is not easy -
meetings and conferences,
endless details.
Gray streaks at his temple.
He knows he should delegate more,
and Michael agrees.
