Coatimundis
I wish I could get adopted
by a pack of coatimundis.
They would teach me how to hunt,
their tails upturned in the tall grass
like a beacon for me to find my way home.
They would cackle like a flock of mad birds
to see me come back from a hunt with nothing again.
They would stomp their little feet as they circle around me,
creaking like rusty chains in their happiness to see me
Like a car with a burnt exhaust valve they would growl
at my clumsiness and my inability to learn.
I am sure they would kindly let me sleep with them,
nuzzling me with their long snouts,
beeping in my ear
like a pack of angry foghorns
on an especially foggy night.
