seagulls
flat asphalt
a sliver between ocean and sky

the port
is strikingly bleak
so blank and empty
you can't help but smile

cobweb horizon
crawling primordial shapes
paparazzi waves

there's not a single cloud -
pools of bluish emptiness
sunlight warms my heart
the engine rumbles...
and through the grimy window
i see peppered sky

how wonderful,
to look out from a dingy ship
stare at the apathy
of the receding shore
and be reminded of a painting
which does not exist.
