“ A Weird Specificity “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

A weird specificity assertively high spirited
wittily configured like ethereally kneeling figures
turning into Classicists seen standing
from the back luminous and pale
following a jagged non-chronological path
ultimately growing up to be working class
tightly wrapped stretched canvases
seen in the cross hairs
monochromatic abstractions
prickly burlap secured by brass tacks
feeling stranded at a random chance
while running off the rails
providing scrutiny for finances
weakening The Endangered Species Act
having dire humanitarian impacts
causing extensive damage
hunkering down without any clout
acting like a cookout crasher
minus a savings plan
based on major and minor scales
playing out-of-sync
demanding kayaks for fly traps
in vanishing habitats fading to black ...
