If I were killed by a brown bear

Eric Gelsinger

If I were killed by a brown bear
Before chance to spear it
The telephone cord slinky
Back to the dial base
Dial tone,
Reality
Sky.

I thrust
The receiver
Through the great chest.
The hair
Will harden
With blood,
And the cord
Will curl back
To the ringer.

I have communicated with the bear
Telepathically.
