White Gull
A white gull in February
Soaring above the ice, and foraging for shell fish.
A white gull in July
Soaring above the parking lot, scouring for dropped burgers and fries.
What makes the white gull in February beautiful?
And the gull in July so plain?
I’ve come to the conclusion today, that it has
Nothing to do with the gull.
Soaring above the ice, and foraging for shell fish.
A white gull in July
Soaring above the parking lot, scouring for dropped burgers and fries.
What makes the white gull in February beautiful?
And the gull in July so plain?
I’ve come to the conclusion today, that it has
Nothing to do with the gull.
