" At One "

" At One "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

At one after two
top schools' golden rules
for new students and teachers too

striking looks having re-worked
concerns of childbirth quenching thirsts
of early birds by obsessive experts
of self-assured uncertainties

while eliminating mythical bullies
with eccentric speed and embarrassing ease
all for sprawling source materials

albeit gobsmackingly detailed
flashback finales as devotees of evil
awash in blinking neon marquees...

"Makeovers as Opposed to Do Overs"...

"Makeovers as Oppsed to Do-Overs"

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Makeovers as opposed
to do overs; in other words,
" How NOT to be a jerk
in the first place!" as pre-coded
by our primitive DNA
"BIFF!" "BANG!"
sorely in need of replacement
implementing meta data
while quibbling about getting huge
standing ovations in portrayals
that regenerate self-gratification
interchangeable straightforward
cocktail party conversations
reciprocating tempted fates
seen as upgrades
to wild imaginations a.k.a.
"Delivering bad news
in a good way!"
parlaying online
gaming tables
all for inspiration
over sun-baked
landscapes
wonderfully
integrated
onto ageless
farther banks
hands raised
as spectators
gaze outside
of blackened frames
becoming
well-authenticated
by pin-hole
technique
and ornamentation
like abbreviated
study guides
for all of mankind's
cosmic behaviors
yet feeling
little-or-no need
to reveal
further
explanations
all due to pre-
determinations
feeling undisturbed
by ready-made
utterance lengths...

" Unraveling "...

" Unraveling "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Unraveling
the failings
revising tactics
as sophisticated surveillance
during night jump landings

deteriorating transit
left scrambling
for the strong upper hand
of desert-tan troop commands

unveiling devils in the details
via upside-down plans
for unsanctioned sales
while misusing character ads
by disguising assets within the masses

ending up bloodied and shell-shocked
as disco pops on vacant lots
housing cutting remarks:
" YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET
WHAT YOU WANT !!! "...

" Retreating "...

" Retreating "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Retreating into spread sheets splotches spots
modern tactility vitriolic constants
symbolically getting pelted by rocks
via unchecked fact feeds conjuring
beleaguered spirits seen popping
bottles of bubbly experiencing breaches
in intimacy seeking places of community
for climate change refugees
engaging in timeworn fantasies
fractured smoked glass smashed stoneware
on the rocks moving non-targets
as sentinels of horror
"Someone's been eating my porridge!"
tobacco blonds masked by fog
ill-starred carnal cha-cha-chas
like dishonorable arbiters
of moonlit withered tinsels
sand spills spit iridescences...

" Once Dismissed "...

" Once Dismissed "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Once dismissed
deepening rifts printed in
national late editions
yet seen as too tepid
plus not tough enough
for renegade crusaders

while pig organs
are assailed to be safe
real game changers
unfolding as clones
along dizzying
demilitarized zones
during promotions
of rogue missile programs
as our only hope

bold untruths be told as foretold
in "The Show of Shows"
played for absolutely no one
showcasing growth-hormoned
wack-a-moles their pre-chosen
super heroes in holes far far from home

like buck-toothed theater goers
crouching low in the front row
just off of the straight-and-narrow
at the end of the premiere episode
of "Getting Torpedoed"
under appreciated like "whoa-is-mes"...
