Cormorants

Silent fishing philosophers
    cling to Baltic rocks,
    await the perfect wave,
 
Then struggle aloft,
    skim and dive,
    seeking sardines,
 
While ignoring taunts
    of herring gulls,
    omnivorically fat,
 
Lazy eaters of sea rot,
    insistently screaming,
    “Play! Play! Play!”
