1.
today, i found a crab.
it was in the ground
huddled
peeking out when i prodded
retracting when i did not
preferring idle beach cover
during idle times
to a fight when prodded.
i dubbed him a sand crab, and he was.

2.
when it rains
i know that everyone
is forced to see the world
as fuzzily as i do
on the clearest days,
and i feel accepted.

3.
i am looking now for a gull.
the ones that coast the shore
will do fine;
that soar in miniscule
slowly and lowly by the ocean.
when they look at me
on that gray backdrop,
rolling
i will dub them seagulls, and they will be.
