inuendo

now i understand the coyote,
rockets on his roller skates,
tenacious and appealing.
you toss explosives onto my desert floor
and i am easily done in.
there is a wide place in the road
and you are there
and i am on the verge
like some kind of hitchiker.
i turn the signs around
and send you in my direction,
i stand dancing as you
race toward me, your arms
reaching out in front of you,
my skin tingling
and itching to be caught up.
i am talking and laughing in circles,
ear to the ground,
listening for the sound
of your acme truck.
