Matter of Fact

" Matter of Fact "

by Suzán Jiván

for Rebecca and Russ
Kenny and Jimmy
Mark and Danielle
and Baby Eric...

Signaling an unexpected intention
further aggravating tension
for so-called adverse possession
of the death penalty
and the uncertainty
of casting a drug-
addled sideways glance
at the haplessly drug-addled
and matter-of-fact dispatches
of clamorously-random
circumstances of long-lost heirs...
