Oil tanker
laden with grime
bobbing in the waves

Blamed for polluting
obscenely obtuse
no one cares to save

Don't hate yourself
for I see a shimmer
of something once beautiful

A "fixer-upper"
yes, you are
but who ever said in vain?

for isn't the story of Seattle
to re-make something old,
giving it life again?
Part 8/13 in "The Seattle Chronicles" collection
