Oh unwanted creature
with a flaky pelt
an invasive species from the South
a disruption of ecosystems
like a missed stitch in a scarf
a random wordy superfluous line in a poem
plaid and stripes worn together on a business day
or the perfect white fish meal under candlelight
and music and laughter
and an ignorant guest brings a cheap
box of wine
Ode to the Nutria
whose innocence
can't be denied a
captive of movement
a motive of human greed
Simply trying to make a life for itself
amongst the responses of the Pacific Northwest
without harmful enemies
except for Frat boys with baseball bats
