” Squinting “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Squinting as if
analyzing something
like, “belly” in tot speak
for the largest economies
ignoring atrocities
having been raised
on stranger things
upon realizing,
“Surgeons
tend to be
more adept
than veterinarians
at ape surgery “
still living in captivity
and sounding suspiciously
like flirting
hearing whimpering
and squeaking
during questioning
by police
tracking endangered
species
heading toward diminishing
green
eye contact becoming disarming
going extinct...

” Good Things Tend to Happen “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom- Mom Suzán

Good things tend to happen
at odd angles in the dark
as exemplars like artists beneath the stars
embodying the epitome of twinkling
while re-modeling high ceilings
by listening with a “tin” ear
during a cosmic “Hide-and-Seek”
with laser-like intensity
attempting to recover relevancy
by borrowing imagery
then re-emerging reading
feisty press releases
zestfully repeating, “ Lend me your ears! “ ...

“ Reaching Back “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“ Reaching Back “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Reaching back
into fragments
of peculiarity
calculated
as factors
of, “The Now”
irregardless
of the actual
as the future
adequacy
of, “The Latter”
via an implant
reading,
“Catch Me
If You Can!”
like a “flashback”
deemed a “backlash”...

” Irascible Elements “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Irascible elements
like psychic instincts
of intangibility
at its innermost meaning
left within reach
of as yet unseen secrets
now ready to be revealed
by accenting the cleavages
of exposing possibilities in relief
measured as, “New Love”
derived from the richness of being
existing since the beginning
formerly seen as shredded leaves
of bared trees...

“ In the Main “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ...

” In the Main “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

In the main collections
in leather and latex
being given more leeway
all for the workaday
getting updated in good taste
detailing stretch leggings
fitted waists swinging full-length
navy capes gold braids
glittering chains
greatly increased birth rates
approaching a tapering middle age
while popularizing lamé bustiers...

“Take Two Bites at the Cherry”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Take two bites
at the cherry
with an eye
to the main chance
past a chapter
of accidents
as cold as charity
chilled to the marrow
when the chips are down
while keeping one’s
ears to the ground
and laughing out loud
out of the other
side of the mouth
by fair means or fowl
while pulling one’s
finger out
down and out
over and out...

“Drawing Strength” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“Drawing Strength”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Drawing strength
raising concerns
signaling skittishness
emerging risks
rate decisions
like a fishing line
after a bite
as a hasty gateway
all according
to the World Bank
upon joining the ranks
of the “Rock of Ages”
while throwing
panties on stages
without hesitation
it’s time for an upgrade
via head banging...
