“ Misaligned “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Misaligned
close advisors
intending
to stoke a fight
when it comes
to destructive desires
reviving crises
while digging
sharply
into allies
and downplaying
rivals
like ride-hauling
giants
getting left
behind
at diminishing
miles
curbed by online
buying
shooting at the foul
line
as a tragic gadfly
self-defined
like a writer
with a somewhat
surprisingly
deep-seated dislike
for typewriters
while snooping
gum shoes
fight crime
mindlessly
smiling
during tantalizing
yet untimely
high jinks
of a fiery genius
as seen in high relief...

“A Dozen Plus” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“ A Dozen Plus “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A dozen plus
ton for ton
creaking
and sighing
cleansing fire
leaving
next to nothing
behind
entirely unrequited
as a stuttering rhyme
leading to a double life
like blithely forthright
fiction writers
seen running
down the aisles
chasing a charming
compromise
from columnists’ minds
revealing
slick findings
via secret societies
deemed, “Spy-lite”...

“Vast and Loose” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ...

“ Vast and Loose “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Vast and loose
oversized statues
real and imagined
dark matter
as re-encountered
mismatches
having woken
up panicked
craving
sentimentality
infused
with unfathomable sexuality
synthesized
as fantastical narratives
carved into sanitized granite
likened to cold hard facts...

“ Across the Centuries “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán ....

“ Across the Centuries “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Across the Centuries
opening this Saturday
with extraordinary character
never having married
as a penchant for Old Masters
in contrast to rarely
having slept there
letters on head stands
reading, “Happily Ever After”
awesomely cinematic
yet still grappling
with the musicality
searching for “pat” answers
seen as superbly balanced
like practiced acrobats...

“ Close Contact “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“ Close Contact “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán 

Close contact
before traveling
so tiny rarely seen
use Deet
in addition
to sunscreen 
during top-secret 
moments
of serendipity 
culminating 
in mind-boggling trips 
filled with ad-lib
as flag ships of passage 
sailing with panache...

“Experiencing Hefty Entrance Fees” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“Experiencing Hefty Entrance Fees”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Experiencing hefty entrance fees
via downloaded virtual realities
like created talk bubbles above comic strips
as showcased at armories by deceased artists
that represent raindrops as erotica
called, “Poppycock Chaos” deemed dream logic
as vibrant shards of bent logic appearing in black boxes
causing global shrink resulting in planet system collapse
due to catastrophic damage accelerating drastically
sprinkled with crystalline granules of quartz sand
while shouting, “They’re male!”
during hunting and gathering that imperils big cats’
natural habitats feeling overwrought by a warming planet
further endangering densely packed mammals
in search of new land samples becoming covered in magma
mini wings manically flapping as a final chance
to head directly towards the hot touchstones of our pasts...

“Highly Personal” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“Highly Personal”

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Highly personal
boundaries
public versus private
meeting of the minds
pregentrified vibes
digging Bonsai
reignited street life
stacked words from headlines
pessimistically titled,
“ Meaningful or inspiring
reorderings of time? “
crammed with cannibalized styles
like quills of porcupines as brainchilds...

“Preparing” by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“ Preparing “

by Suzán Jiván 
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán 

Preparing 
for the arrival 
of a cyclone 
veterinarians
standing by 
for the arrival 
of the eye 
monkeys hyenas 
porcupines 
as shoreline 
oversight 
for tech-saturated lives 
pasted over faded flyers...

“ A Bit Snitty “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

“ A Bit Snitty “

by Suzán Jiván 
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán 

A bit snitty 
latest volleys 
while whistling 
past the graveyard 
with bizarre
avant-garde 
quotation marks 
of “Guess what’s?”
as fodder 
for garment
storage lockers 
in theater departments
of cinder block 
replete with detachable 
shirt collars 
and matching lace thongs
stored in cardboard boxes
crammed with costumes 
clearly marked,
“Botox beauty bars”
attempting to fit 
into a new norm 
all at the denim store
back on the sales floor
garments milled and mauled 
stained torn and otherwise flawed
as social uniforms ...

“ Straining “ by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán...

” Straining “

by Suzán Jiván 
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán 

Straining 
to spot threats 
mimicking histories 
of hypertension 
in nobility and wealth 
upon announcing 
unconditional surrender
stripping an emperor 
being made into a figurehead 
with stubborn earnestness
while growing outwardly 
from the center 
by chronicling tragic 
intergalactic events 
right near the present 
as vast collections
of intact tree ring samples 
and exacting snowpack data
detect catastrophic damage 
all across the planet 
as invisibly invasive micro plastics
wreak havoc in the air 
in the water and on the land 
causing massive climatic whiplash
and frantic plastic backlash...
