[Newspoetry] assignment

[gillespie william k]

How about a news story about an athiest artist who does a painting of the
holy trinity with the head of J.R. Bob Dobbs on the Christ child, creating
a heated fury among Subgeniuses who consider it blasphemous and declare
over and over that "Bob is not a Christian." Perhaps a subgenius mayor can
order the closing of the gallery that displays it, and a NEA whose
administrators happen to be subgenius can eviscerate all government
funding of the arts.

Then Mobil Oil can sponsor PBS documentaries on how the Bible is a
gigantic hoax.
