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! Brian Johnston May 30th, 2018 PoemHunter.com and PoetrySoup.com 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?
