” Bracing “
by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
Bracing
for a lively exchange
winding up tearful
and humiliated
nerves frayed feeling isolated
by damaging information
like tiny pools of patients
unwilling to suck up the pain
of a weaponized workplace
seething with manipulated data
after closing the ranks
in the outer part of a distant crater
facing poisonous snakes
shouting,“Tarnation!”
after straining with joke making
like matchmaking
with the lowest common denominator
of the far-less crazy
having parachuted into another age ...
