“ Look Ma “...

” Look Ma “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Look ma, no hands!
snagging hurdles that baffle
re-establishment as virtual reality
for humble homes like Santa’s
polar abode post rolling over
snow banks seen all aglow
on parade floats sipping Mimosas
in cameos for jolly fellows
stoking happy notions
from days of old pursuing the boho
kept in tow by “Ho-Ho-Hos” ...

" Based on What? "...

" Based on What? "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Based on "What?"
versus "So What?
like inequality
while eavesdropping
as the key
to offering up
secret recipes

by unknowingly
and uncomfortably
rating craft beers
within disheartening
start-up lands

creating quite the contrast
to snug trailer parks
in slow markets
via high-risk targets
of questionable quality
during test-optional
policies of, "Say What?!"...

" Friends and Allies "...

" Friends and Allies "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Friends and allies
windy highs redefined
seeking asylum

shedding light
beachside as spies
via tit-for-tat reprisals

undermining the penalized
beneath cloudy grey skies
concealing beaming smiles

pink-cheeked blown dry
presidentially or otherwise
seemingly like nice normal guys...

" Our Place "...

" Our Place "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Our place in nature
distinguishing primates
describing types
in between environments

while clinging and leaping
swinging arm over arm through trees
among endangered species

congregating for safety
over home ranges
variable in shape
and coloration

often kinship based as indicated
by the fossilization of faces
from molecular dating
post climate change
via dietary adaptations

nurturing
steamy re-
imaginings
as steeped
shades of green

fingering teas
buds new leaves
select pluckings
deftly and steadily
stirring at the center...

" Transformative "...

" Transformative "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Transformative
galactic clues
as atomic-scale
transparent animals
via vision-
correcting displays
for sound waves
of world-changing
chronic pain
contained in our DNA

originating
from nano aerospace
capturing
low-temperature waste
mimicking
silk-spinning charades
along lengthening
periodic tables
of unexplained
shape-shifting innovation

emphasizing fascination
with making mistakes
in many cases
within the rankings
of trainees
attempting to de-escalate
tense situations
cautiously embracing
contradictory interpretations...

" Misconceptions "...

" Misconceptions "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Misconceptions
previously upheld
like captured senses

overcome
by large
objections
of the wary

after mishaps
during fractious
initial acts

where flaws
often happen
as canned
surprise
reactions
to brand-
incoherent
plans

while band-
stand dancers
wag their
derrières
and get panned

labeled
as "camp"
opposed
to theatrically
world-class
fictional
characters

having once
been scripted
by biased
one-sided
plot devices...

" A Reminder "...

" A Reminder "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A reminder
eddying
into academic-ese

neither biased
nor misleading
via time-tested means

within eroding
communities
minus accountability

re-defining history
grappling with incarnate
and ungainly surnames

while providing insights
into the dangers of incisor K9s
in the spaces of vacant smiles

borne strangely from far and away
like deviously estranged
false claims endorsed in post-truth ages...
