” Using Riskier Tactics “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Using riskier tactics threatening to snap
being pinched back by crackdowns
trickily balancing rushing onto rafts
while fording across The Rio Grande
bashing bug repellent brands
preparing for planting
sporting peacock tails
mimicking your friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man
as an heir to animated anagrams
of Iron-Man played by
an Abominable Snowman
in Times Square
along with “Wicked Phantom”
and “Frozen Aladdin” ...

“Upwelling and Spreading”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Upwelling and spreading
lost innocence gone viral
gruesome and violent
screaming and crying
secured by our own devices
in dark dark times
as set backs ‘n’ blow back
within tragically madcap
lines of trailers
dressed up roughed up
getting touched-up
as pain comes bubbling up
as a grownup
getting ready to curl-up in bed
while asking, “Is your room a mess?”
feeling both sick and sad
freaked-out parents
seeing sincerity as “scary”
ending up, “way way out there” ...

” Alarmed Aids “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Alarmed aids stating,
“Don’t do us any favors!”
while longing for change
becoming unable
to let out the anger
labeled, “Reprehensible
witness intimidation”
all for personal gain
yet dismissing allegations
of whistle-blowing complaints
in uninitiated contemplation
of algorithmic disseminations
by the vexingly opaque C.I.A
layering informational tracings
taking eye-brow-raising creative
leeways of, “flap-ball-change” ...

“ Bolstering a Whistle-Blower “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ...

“ Bolstering a Whistle-Blower “

by Suzán Jiván Mom

& Mom-Mom Suzán 

Bolstering a whistle-blower

via newly disclosed

memos as sign posts 

of “abuse of power”

versus an “Absolute Joke”

veiled by the damage control 

of a five year old 

asking for “a favor” on the phone 

on the gray scale

of a genius grant 

in a MAGA ball hat

covered in inconspicuous

tchotchkes 

playing in The American League 

but the National 

associated by contracted quacks 

of “Far out, man!”

deeply steeped in vanity’s 

shenanigans 

flashing red hazards ...

 

“Audacious Disregard” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ...

” Audacious Disregard “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Audacious disregard
openly acknowledging
whipsawing proprieties
vilifying feeding
black markets
as the plight
of captive tigers
tugging at the back
of our minds
while sniffing
poisoned violets
in jars filled
with flashing
fireflies...

“Denying Wrongdoing” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ...

” Denying Wrongdoing “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Denying wrongdoing
while readying
missiles and ships
and purging eyewitnesses
losing coveted dignity
in subhuman conditions
for the long-predicted
short-lived
as the very very sick
face suicide bombings
staging the grandiosity
of homemade arms
performing autopsies
on the “No-More Kumbayas” ...

“A Second Cut”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A second cut
seeking to be tough
with growing worry
but keeping calm
by layering on but not
knowing who you are
donning bikini tops
revealing arms of not
just the body politic
going on and on
as a nuanced obvious
while hemlines drop
head on like con frocks
for cropped artists’ smocks
with logo collars as a come-on
shadowing the low-cut tops
of followers ...
