~Emmett Pickett, Class of 2029

The cliffs are looming with the mounds of gray. 
Why am I there? 

The water comes running in with strides of big waves. 
Why am I there? 

The tides are coming in with the fish jumping. 
Why Am I There?  

The seagulls swoop in! <{([GIVE ME MY SANDWICH])}>. 
That’s why I’m there —  
to feed the seagulls
to encourage the waves
to climb the mountains
to help the fish
That’s why I’m there.
