A House John D Built (2)

Michael Ceraolo

    This is a house John D built
    This is the pipeline from the pristine wilderness built by a house John D built
    This is the oil loaded on ships after being carried by the pipeline from the pristine wilderness for a house John D built
    This is the single-
rather than double- hulled ship and half-staffed crew that transported the oil loaded on board after being carried by the pipeline from the pristine wilderness for a house John D built
    This is the oil that spilled in the Sound when the single-hulled ship with its half-crew ran aground on a not-Good Friday while transporting the oil loaded on board after being carried by the pipeline from the pristine wilderness for a house John D built
    And these were the governments federal and state and the other companies who shared in the profits who had no plan for immediate response when the oil spilled in the Sound
    Thus:
    This the ninety-plus percent of the oil blown over hundreds of miles by an Easter storm
    And these are the tens of thousands of birds and thousands of marine mammals killed by the oil blown over hundreds of miles in the Easter storm
    And this is the food chain contaminate from bottom to top in additions to the thousands and thousands of animals killed by the oil blown over hudnreds of miles in the Easter storm
    And this is a culture nearly destroyed because it depended on the contaminated food
    And this is the fine that paid for causing all of the above that was a mere fraction of of one year’s profits for a house John D built
