Coyote Does a Hot Take
I go to these things to socialize
That’s why I arrived late and left early
That’s why I stood outside the whole time
Thats why I wasn’t paying attention to who was talking
That’s why it took a full 40 seconds to place you
That’s why I chuckled to myself
when you said some things in earnest
That’s why I muttered
and slurred my words nearly imperceptably
And I broke that glass when it fell from my hand
I wasn’t on a substance,
I guess I was tired
Digesting the huge meal
Or all the solar storms
That’s why I built the fire
cause magnetic fields are wreaking havoc
in my brain
Its full of swirling liquid
My body, going in four directions
(I forgot to drink water)
And I put way too much on my plate.
Ah, but it is normal.
I’m what they may call a weirdo
These storms
have raged since before I was born.

love these that’s why!
Fantastic. Beyond fantastic. Each “that’s why” feels like the flick of a flint attempting to a light a cigarette pinned against dust storm.
I love the build to this
Its full of swirling liquid
My body, going in four directions
(I forgot to drink water)
especially. Really, really good.
