Gulls

The sea stinks most peculiar
    since the wartime began.
Maybe the plankton died
    and the chain reaction spread.
Our beach is ankle deep in
    fishy skeletons. At least the gulls got a feast
    before they skimmed the empty waters and flew away.
Now the fish, the sea and the gulls exist 
    only on the video cassettes of 
    old movies and eco-hysteria films.
