The Bay Today
The bay is green today like
grassland a spring day
moments before it´s invaded by
cattle and cowboys
with six shooters full of dust.
Yesterday a tsunami struck filled
houses with icy
water, to day shopping is free you
can buy whatever
you desire but Persian carpets are
water damaged.
Angry water is brown as a hord of
stampede cattle
unthinking just moving forward
unaware of death
and its own impending destruction.
Friendly and soft the bay is today,
like a milk carton
cow painted green to better be seen
on supermarkets
shelves that also have blueberry
yogurt on display.
A, this inlet forever trying to be
apart from the sea,
yet cannot stop a storm from
spitting foam.
