Seagulls

Seagulls squawk!

reminding me
I’m not that far*
from salt-water*,

just south of south
San Francisco bay,
remembering

Massachusetts Bay.

Note: Remembering Massachusetts Bay simply, isn't possible because it's dramatically different in each season: snowily awful in Winter, thrillingly windy to hurricany in Fall, nicest in late Spring, scorching in high Summer, so the name's long & complex to anyone who's actually lived there for long. How does one 'remember' San Francisco Bay?
* far (fah) & water (wahtah) rhyme in New England.
