Seagulls and Crows
Seagulls swoop down to the waves
and back up again,
soaring against a background
of boundless blue skies,
of boundless blue skies,
and celebrating the sea breezes
with their joyous, rhythmic cries.
Crows perch in a palm tree by my window;
complaining, bickering, and gossiping
about the people down below.
The crows' voices grate and scrape
like rusty hinges on an old screen door.
When given a choice,
what will you do,
squabble or soar?
You can hear the crows at the beginning of this short video.
