Seattle, Elliot Bay

Let us hope that we are all preceded in this world by a love story.

Seattle's Elliott Bay (Pi Poem)

Pier 50, Friday

Night

Green and white ferry

Boats

Cross to Bremerton, and Winslow

Commuter cars sit on the dock for hours waiting

Their turn

We park up the street instead

Walking on for sunset cruise

Standing on upper

Deck, winds whip our hair

We hold hands and cocoa to keep warm

We disembark, then right back on for return trip

Watching city lights emerge on dark horizon.

Fish and chips at Ivars before we drive home

A cheap date.
