LIKE THE COYOTE

 

We, like the coyote, think
we know the habits of this world:
death and taxes with certain diversions

that make predictable politics
like foreplay for Wall Street
eager to screw the future

into submission. Coyotes
make their living on the details
overlooked and discarded,

keeping to the periphery
and singing into darkness
while everyone’s asleep.
