“Take Two Bites at the Cherry”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Take two bites
at the cherry
with an eye
to the main chance
past a chapter
of accidents
as cold as charity
chilled to the marrow
when the chips are down
while keeping one’s
ears to the ground
and laughing out loud
out of the other
side of the mouth
by fair means or fowl
while pulling one’s
finger out
down and out
over and out...
