“I'll tell you the story. I was walking
the outer edge of the outer lands
where sporadic signs staked in dunes
warned to keep distant from the mammals;
in fact, there were critical acts in place
to enforce non-molestation,
but between me and the sea
a seal appeared to be having a time of it….’’
— From ‘“Outer Lands” {on Outer Cape Cod}, by Bill Carty
