Bucarest, After 17 Years

With some greenery,
Billbords for cell phones and jeans,
And a clear spring day,

The monstrous quarter--
Blocks of flats for Securitate officials
Sourounding the palace on the hill for the Leader--
That Causescu had only half-finished
Before their bullet finished him off,

Doesn't look so bad.

A cause for optimism or pessimism?
