What Is It?

What Is It?

What is "it", she asked
as if I might know better
than the average
bear, the bear who lives
in the woods, and there leaves signs
of his large presence.
But I don't. I don't
know now what "it" is. I might
have once, but mostly
these days it's about
the best trees in the forest
for scratching my back.
