“Set to Surge”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Set to surge
debuting dueling
provocateurs
abbreviated outbursts
arching brows
rapturous tryouts
feeling empowered
watching proudly
cutting patterns
from lives in the past
manically chronicling nostalgia
going “Old School”
signaling shifts where everyone fits
like brash bumpkins having turned
to trafficking and hacking
demanding ransom
after disappearing into hot air
as out-of-sorts creepy crawlies
for “never-befores” extorted by Bitcoins
via lax laws masking flaws
while lead creeps into drinking water
as a toxic new normal
littered with fallen acorns ...
