Clean

Rudd got in a conga line of slashing signs at
the Clean Water Demonstration, and had to sit
on the curb since his asthma started acting up.

Next to him, a polar bear. He tried conversation,
the way he did with any creature.

"Before you get any further," warned the bear, "I should tell you
that I'm frigid."

A female voice, and sultry, regardless of ludicrous sentiment.

Rudd rushed on to detail the purposes of the demonstration,
while she uh huhed in quiet desperation at his muddiness.

"You...want me to leave since I'm hardly Brad Pitt!"

"Hardly."

"Well I won't. I'm treating you to lunch, in costume or not!"

The first place they went didn't serve polar bears.

But they stumbled on Lunch By Gus. Millie and Betts insisted
on hugs, and Mickey and Oops in the kitchen suggested Lasagna
Alfredo because of its whiteness.

Gus came in and told them their meal was on the house. "Hey! I fish, and the lake has turned into a piss puddle!"

"The rich prefer it that way!" shot the polar bear. Jen, in her 

other life.

Well, Rudd and Jen hit it off after that, he eventually moving into her immaculate live-work studio, where she fashioned a brand new
polar bear costume for him.

The efficiency he left was condemned by the Board of Health.

Not really, but that was its flavor.


Twin bears at demonstrations after that, and interviewed
by the cable networks.

But then, Leadership wanted her solely in Organization.

So, Rudd went solo polar bear. He got awfully good and
made the whole bus happy going to DC.

His wrestling with cops there made TV news worldwide.
Thence viral videos in all languages!

A former gross polluter wanted him for commercials.
“Not just yet,” Rudd told them. “A few more things for
you to do.”

Which they did. After first, of course, maintaining it was
impossible. He turned the money back to the cause.

Rudd became famous, and Jen's costumes generally.

So, supreme cause, good life.

She passed with breast cancer. Everything dies, and everybody.

He became both of them after that, training a cousin in being
the polar bear. Thence, happily taking Jen’s organizational post.

Had been seen as somewhat scattered, but now everything
at his fingertips.

As if the Environment were a person you could sit down with,
and discover therein the exact resonance for life.

Love it, except for the bears. They scare me.
