My own patriotic U.S. extended family,
historically,
and currently
remains StraightWhiteMale privileged
in our collective memories,
if not imaginations,
of spiritual communion
with all the more privileged saints
present,
past,

Prince and Princess,
to marry, there is 
an exaltation, thought
the King guilefully.
As his snickered brow

And condemned as crooks of a cruel kind—
Old prejudice or heartless brain’s refrain, 
Repeated ad nauseam a point to grind—
