Seagulls Bring Unwanted News

Seagulls swoop in from a rumored coast, tropical storms rock small pebbles in Ohio. It is the season to be watching other's batten down and endeavor not to drown. Of course the odd hurricane may pounce upon us but by and large we are indifferent. There is much talk of foreign wars in Midwest bistro's, but we suffer only from the daily news. Atomic annihilations are not any part of our conversations, though we do dig deep shelters in our restless dreams. The seagulls are getting fat from the rinds & crumbs of our bacon sandwiches; they may never fly away now. The leaves will fall this Autumn but nothing much is in a hurry so no worry.
