WEIGHTY MATTERS

by Bill Costley


Weighty matters weigh heavily as the Taurus
carbon observatory falls to Earth & sinks.

Mardi Gras offers one last day’s distraction.

Obama gets even seriouser with Congress;.
Bernanke says the recession will lift this year.

Anybody still running on hope is wondering:

What in hell are the Republicans thinking?
Can’t they see we see right through them?


Bill Costley serves on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the National Writers Union.
