my dear,
you are as pretty
as the seagull
swooping--
fluidly,
in perfect
eternal symmetry--
in a downward arc,
flown just right,
so that it can
send one more fish
to its death.

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

Yes nice one

Quite an ending...
I'm going to be looking for
more of this twist.

Well done, Sir.

Oh yeah, beautiful and free, and then there you are. I like the way you do this.
