what were you doing near my house Coyote?
were the poachers chasing you off?
Did the rumbles of trucks scare you inland?
I have an arroyo as my neighbor
  with jack rabbits and snakes
  with crickets the size of urban cockroaches
  barely any humans
  only the ones true to nature walk the rocky trail
  but you...
I am confused Mr Coyote
why were you not coming from the arroyo?
You cannot buy food at the Albertsons
and the gas stations dont let you in
The village inn wont serve you
and the campus is sealed by skunks and their ghastly---wind
Fast food makes no sense to you
all your food is fast
so I'm lost in where youre coming from
old friend
the native spirit of my soul
has come once again
Old coyote
As if you had been lost in the residential homes of El Chuco
  and simply searching for me.
This is the second time I have seen a coyote when I leave early in the morning. The coyote is the ultimate trickster, the reflection of your soul

You know the middle class
Here in America

Is being destroyed

And other nations
Won't want to trade

As much with us
With our devalued currency

And the price of food
Has been slowly but surely
On the rise

And what happens
When America
Can't just print more dollars?

Big corporations
Like Staples
And Albertsons

Are closing more stores
We are losing more jobs

— The End —
