Chasing Coyotes
 
Astounded
By their cunning,
We chased coyotes
Down the backroad
Laughing like children
In the pseudo-safety
Of her convertible.
"There!" 
"There it is!", I told her
As I searched frantically
For my camera.
But it had disappeared--
Much like her childhood.
And, much like her childhood,
I wanted this moment
To go on forever.
Wouldn't you know it,
The coyotes took off
Down another road,
And ours dead-ended.
