Eager to Please

" Eager to Please "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " The Idea Escalated "

The idea escalated
as mannequins of men
stood at the ready
in rows of helmets
with a hefty preface
to a permanent perch
on unabashedly
unflattering wide angles
of taxidermied animals
In social transactions
turning out as unsatisfactory
like tongue-in-cheek
under close scrutiny
as wax effigies smiling blissfully
Well-known ambivalence
as if in a stint
with perpetual helter-skelter
in oversized black bags
embarrassingly
eager to please
like a golden retriever
Shrunken into a raft-sized pallet
then taken to task
as obviously opulent
with golden-flecked prominence
Identifying the "OMG" of orthodoxy
known intimately as emerald green
gradually smoldering
all the livelong day on a bulky frame
With quickness and little finesse
if nothing else as something
extra uninvested in ourselves...
