A Passing Coyote's Love Song
I'm itinerate coyote who's mostly alone,
One more 'Steppenwolf' feeling no need to atone
For the life that I've lived (where I've worked to live free
Of the chains others cherish.) I like to be me!
Hard to circumvent world, for it gets in the way,
Though with jets it is easy to leapfrog today,
For by flying straight East, the hours lost, hardly missed,
Up so high in the air, your ass never is kissed.
Though I sometimes move fast, there's no movement at all
In life built on relationships, eye's off the ball
Of my relative life, I've no chance for a wife,
He who slows down one second soon weds the world's strife.
Love to howl at the moon for it helps night to clear,
'Sun to come' may be hiding, but I have no fear,
For I see a new dawn, as I drink what moons bring,
Should a wolf call surround you? Shh! Hear my heart sing!

Poet's Note:
I had no idea this poem was going to be a love song until I wrote the last line! Were you surprised too?
