Seagulls

High cries

Crashing waves

Sound of ocean

Falsely promising beaches

Sun

Seagulls

Circle over

Fast food pavements

Puddles of snow melt

On cracked parking lots

Downtown and in

Back yards of

Matted grass

Calling, crying, waiting and watching

For food

Where did they come from

Why are they here and not at the seaside

Finding French fries on the sand
