Wile E Coyote

Elusive man, dangle your wares

slide down your slippery slope

ambiguous words promise nothing

as I try to grasp your illusory shadow

subtle trickery blinds my perception

transitory phantom two steps ahead

skipping on deceptive fleeing feet

you stonewall your sneaky pledges

to remain faithful forever to me

misleading me as you dance carefree

throwing kisses as you bound out the door

doing the two step – one forward, one back

the rhythm of no return on wild dog feet

Wile E coyote streaking off in the distance

no further use for bloody stripped prey.
