Staring over the pajama-ed feet of my six-year old self, I toon my senses and see reflections of myself, repeated within a Saturday morning ritual. This time, I'm the scapegoat "predator" in high speed pursuit of a feathered, fast food I'm not allowed to taste. Hence, I endure the cruel pangs of hunger's acme, as my formidable, fowl friend mocks my existence from protected grounds; plays me like a rerun. Unable to erase these lines that define our desert world, I forgo the animated formalities of acting out someone else's lopsided script. I humor my creator by blazing down a familiar cacti road that leads to a bridgeless chasm, for reasons realized only after I'm robbed of instinct, reflex and memory... in rapid d e s c e n t, I find myself splitting the, now obvious, chasm, with that "here I go again" look penciled across my face right up until the moment when I predictably pancake against the bottom of every imprisoning television in America... There I am, beneath a tainted halo of rising dust, a fallen coyote counting Tweetybirds like I'm supposed to. C. Kelly [This message has been edited by Rotts (05-16-2002 10:34 PM).] |

It's easy to navigate. Just don't walk into any walls painted to look like caves. I did that so many times, I had to take an extended break... Glad to have you here. Look forward t' more. She said burn ... together. |

You have painted in poetry...my favorite character of the toons....Many a laughter's tear has fallen from my face over many many years of watching the coyote with that "here we go again" look.... Thanx...and welcome to Passions... If you get lost...just yell, someone will help! |

Yikes....Lookit all the fine folks I need to thank! bsquirrel, nkdthoughts, Marti, Magnus, Poet Devine, TriXter, Sunshine, EternitysHorizon, Enchantress, Marge, Marsha, MistletoeAngel... nkdthoughts...thanks for noticing my lack for an "s" in descent...It must have got lost in the plummet. Poetdevine...Rotts is the back half of "Carrots"...my childhood nickname as defined by my affection for said veggie...and no I don't bite (hard). Sunshine...Thanks again for the ecard welcome. Love the pic of the hyena; it would go great with a poem about the great African Serengeti I have (hopefully it doesn't bite either). Thanks to all of you....I hope to show my appreciation by returning the favor of having read my work, just as soon as I find the time and know-how to track you all down. Toodles... Rotts...
