Seagull Street
Life is nothing but-
King of the ruins
Of bread crumb loners
He waddles in
Scavenger of indifference
Interrupts the
Circle of
Peevish ducks
Quaking in sudden
Defense
As he
Tries to
Lord over the leftovers
Slick,screeching sqaubble
Bottoms bobbing
Kaleidoscope of confusion
Tails up-
Reflections of a city pond
