Afoot
On the jetty a Green Harbor
I stood the other day
Cold and wet and rainy
An’ I was out t’ play
The wind was keepin’ company
She rode in with the tide
Spottin up me glasses
So I couldn’t see the glide
Of a hungry screaming seagull
A flutter in me eyes
The footing was as greasy
As only kelp can be
But I’d been there
A time before today
A disappointed seagull
Flew away
