Nancy Grace of once upon a time Philadelphia fame br Told me of a seagull she had witnessed br On a trip by boat to Europe, br Leaving port the other gulls turned back to land br But this gull follwed the boat to Europe br Where upon arrival the creature was killed by the European gulls. br Though capable of spinning a good yarn br I do not think Nancy fabricated this story. br It seems Van Gogh was like this gull in art br Solitary in his courage and excellence br Who in his time flew solo to a new world br It makes me less quick to judge in many matters br Lest I become a killer gull.
