Sea Gull

The seagull has no insurance.
No mutual funds for later days.
No friends or lovers to burden him.
The seagull is alone and always just now.

The seagull cries to all who'd listen.
But no one does.
The seagull doesn't care.

The seagull looks for threats.
He is always on guard.
As he was then he is now.
