Killer Seagulls, 2013

VENICE BEACH KILLER SEAGULLS

Venice Beach
Killer Seagulls
attack the man-child
whom I bore
fifteen years ago,
hoping to snatch
the turkey and cheese sandwich
he holds in his hand,
no match for the masculinity
which bursts from his being
like an unconquerable stallion
I’d dare not ride.
