A Raindrop Landed In My Eye

[REW]

It was a minute before the rain came.
The still, cool air sounded like static.
I remember,
there was a seagull
sitting by a dumpster.
Its right wing was bent 
and twitching.
It was staring at me, (grammatically there should be a semicolon to link independent clauses instead of a comma)
I stared back,
and for a moment it felt as if
we understood each other.
 
My focus was broken by
a misshapen “V” of geese
squawking overhead.
I looked up and
a raindrop landed in my eye.
I winced and pressed
my eye lids 
shut.
I opened them,
and looked back at the seagull,
whose beak was buried in a used diaper.
The rain came.

I find humor in this that I didn't see my first go around.  I mean how funny that the speaker feels him and the seagull understand one another, and then when he looks back at the seagull it is eating a diaper...so of course that is when the rain came.

Poetically there isn't much in terms of figurative language and etc.  I do like the moment captured though and for the topic I suppose simple is best.

I am not sure about the title...perhaps give some thought to that???
