If we continue to fragment our wilderness
Our cryptids will lack places to hide
They might then evolve into smallness
And begin letting themselves inside

A compact sasquatch lurks in the kitchen
Flatbrush pixies are on the lanai
Mothmen orbit floorlamps in the den
Chubacaprae in the garage wave goodbye

If we don’t want them in our spaces
If we wish to bid them goodbye
Perhaps it’s our turn to downsize
Before the very last forests will die
