traveling thoughts to Jim from J.D. Whitney

GRANDMOTHER

                                 has
birdfeet point
the way--
                 3 toes
front &
1 back
            but
Roadrunner wants
2 & 2
          to
fool
        that
following
pain-in-the-ass
Coyote.
Says
         ok.
But can't
bring herself to
tell:
       how
old
Coyote
             he can
go
    both
ways at once.
