Otters

I’ve always been a fan of otters: 

There’s something about the joy they find 

Both on the water’s surface 

And in its depths, 

And the way they float on their backs 

While carrying their young 

That seems so open, and tender… 

So I totally understand 

Why an artist would choose to recreate them 

And why my town would place them here 

For all to enjoy.
