cHAMELEON cOYOTE
,on maneuvers
(on woman âeuversâ too)
.
Whatâs real. ,& what isnât. the rocks as real as the sea.
backing off & going around (w/ good humor)
,spinnig circles in your harbor.
Watching out for the âanti-coyote.â,
a light ( ! -- in the night. a half mile in from shore . ^^^ .
in this stormy night of forever.
where weâre waiting ,on our surroundings. @@*@
changing color to suit the suit.
;testing the waters w/ litmus paper paws â â .
What goes by the name of âtomato juice,â ((--
-- )) ;the steady pitter-patter of hooves. the beat of wings.
the open eye of the bulls eye. Caustic consciousnessesâ
iridescent open end. .opening up...
bright claws.
;as many mythological creatures, as anyone
would care to keep, track of. .the tracks always changing,,,
,â (( >/ = * ... */ $ % # \] ^[ -- &#! @@ __ â
. an Escher print changing from food to feces,
going by the name âCoyote.â
(Coyote spelled backwards is âEtoyocâ)
,w/ accents on the syllables in reverse.
(this is what Coyote sees when Coyote looks in the mirror.âââ
).
a little bit salamander. a little bit lizard.
a little bit crocodile & chameleon.
a little bit left over in the âfridge.
,if you can find it.
a feeling that someone was here. & took it w/ them
,a feeling that someone was here. & left on a light.
Tending to invisibility when backed by nothing.
an underbelly of blue backed by the sun
