Layover at Ted Stevens International Airport
There is a stuffed polar bear in a glass display
cage
Up on its hind legs
Looming over the ticket counter.
Other bears populate
The departure and arrival gates
No longer endangered.
At the Anchorage airport
Ted Stevens’ spirit
Is everywhere
And when the drilling
Finally starts,
As we all know it will,
There are sure to
Be more trophies
And more oil money
n the pockets of politicians.
