my pet rhino no bigger
than a dog greets me at the door
when I come home
happy rhino charging my knees
pleased to be alive thanks
to the power of science
to shrink any problem and
change the color of the question
what to do about too many people
crowding out the animals
save the whales by making them smaller
swimming in tanks so cute
a narwhal for your daughter
a polar bear in the freezer
to bring out for parties
it’s the answer of science
to the question of us
what to do about our urges
we can’t consider cramping
we can’t give up our children
and our children need pets
when we run out of room
we’ll shrink us
