Block Dog, Stark Feline

I passed a black dog that could cross

Busy streets using the crosswalk

And the green and red signal lights.



I passed a stark white cat

That seemed eager and terrified

At the same time

In her own yard.



You think you have things figured out

And then you meet a dog that can jump a fence

And a cat that is afraid to leave the cool, green grass.



That is how you come to miss Coyotes.



Because you know they are wild.

And that is all you need to know.
