” A Reflective Stroll “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A reflective stroll
thumbing noses
at late-night hosts
in response
to slick centerfolds
while whistling
past an old folks’ home
outstretched in a pool pose
and clutching a smartphone
with a cut-tree logo
“Getting close...
but not THAT close!”
as overblown “so-so”
travel apps to download
from trip memories
of a promising past ...

“Overlapping”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Overlapping
muffled blasts
struggling to manage
overshadowing
“The whole answer
is there on the canvas”
at first glance
there were no sales
while needing
to live thriftily
feeling clear-eyed
on a “Second Story Sunlight”...

“A Touch Sweeter “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

A touch sweeter like an upbeat
silkscreened catharsis
reasonably conceived
yet unpromisingly unappealing
like strict previous rulings
of unaccordingly modernized filings
with bite-sized fair uses implied
but kept in mind upon becoming mired
in the slightest of improvised satire
never to re-materialize
except perhaps via highballed
high-jinx served over ice
in a largely unrivaled
attractively transparent
Glen Plaid drinking glass...

“One of the Most Unusual”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

One of the most unusual
made-for-TV moments
like our “Home Sweet Home”
still hoping to be wholesome
“from the mountains
to the prairies
to the oceans
white with foam”
stressing flowing lines
and a balance of light
via powerful shapes
of pink, cream and white
like our unconscious minds
decidedly buying
art “with our ears
and not our eyes”
while the strong minded
crave huge skies
as looming moons
hit our eyes
portrayed outsized
married to Science
by daguerreotypes
in pseudo
blacks and whites
depicting,
“One giant leap for mankind” ...

“ Skewing the Census “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Skewing the Census
divvying up seats
told explicitly
not to discuss planning
to be “Fair and Accurate”
due to legal battling
over re-drawn boundaries
no matter what happens
as a show of power
from torturous
overcrowding
without showers
while Presidents roll
down the tarmac
saying, “They can’t
be looking at that!”
as little-known tales
of a woman
posing as a man
to sharpen
understanding
of curatorial affairs
re-counted
as Fairy Tales
by keeping tabs
on questionnaires
ultimately deemed,
“Unfair and Inaccurate”
quickly vanishing
having unabashedly
sought to be tallied nationally...

“Underlines Split”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Underlines split shaken by images
of activists as seen on split screens
while advice goes unheeded
from a pre-wired top tier
fingerprinted bit-by-bit across wish lists
for electro active planet bacteria
as protein sleeves conduct electricity
into distant dreams of a new species
and a new genus while teeth
map hyenas over odysseys
like once-lost purgatory fossils
still Tweeting beneath warming seas
as a kind of Global Google Street
for new genes being nurtured
from vigorous studies of recovery
summing up, “Running takes guts”...

” A Seemingly Peaceful Tweet “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

A seemingly peaceful tweet
as too much of a good thing
in a showman’s arena
of peering leaders
seeking a nuclear freeze
in order to limit capabilities
via brilliant visuals
and beaming
camera-friendly greetings
secretly seeking
nuclear enrichments
overtly offering
the illusion of progress
as if supposed friendship
were an end in itself
like a bar request
yammering, “You’re on!”
speaking of bonding
but losing your grip
on fissile material ...
