” Nearly Numb “

by Suzán Jiván

Nearly numb
to men with guns
leaving the public stunned
and seeking consultants
following the blood
getting shunned
while flexing the muscles
of tumultuous buildups
for up-and-coming thunder
“They’re coming for us!!!”
feeling flushed
vigorously scrubbing
while air pumping
and poking fun
“Oh grow up!!!”
over cold cuts
as Love bundles
thrown up
like ludicrous
mid-Summer junk
upon coming
under discussion
trumpeting,
“ I want to pump you up!!!”
with homespun puns
while wishing the munchkins
of late Summer, “Good luck!!!” ...
