1492: The Beavers Arrive

Rain falls outside the Thai Palace
at the hour when Bostonians walk their dogs.

Fresh from Woods Hole
hungover from too much intellectual blood
Columbus clings to a plate of penang curry.

Beavers.
Crated from Canada to Argentina and released
they swam across Estrecho de Magellanes
and conquered Tierra del Fuego.

Kill all the beavers:
invasive species in a foreign land.
1492.

Next morning Columbus awakes,
drinks coffee at Dunkin Donuts 13 Knapp St Chinatown Boston,
remembers.

Around a table at a Woods Hole bar
nine persons from seven nations:
Which one is the beaver?
