MOURNING WASPDOM

by Bill Costley


Mourning the potential
absence of practicing Protestants on
SCOTUS (U.S. Supreme Court)

fluffs the less admissible possibility
of 6 Christians, no WASPs, dis-
ingenuously mourning Yankee Bankers

or the Ruling Class, omitting Muslims,
Mormons, Masons, or Crackers
or Ba'hais, animists,  or agnostics . . .


Bill Costley has served on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the National Writers Union. He lives in Santa Clara, CA.
