The Obvious as Impossible

" The Obvious as Impossible "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

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

Performed on YouTube
as, " A Longtime Confidant "

A longtime
confidant of probably not
following the normal standard
and demographics as blond
and bubbly especially
when saying dark things
triumphantly by setting up
punchlines like, " Um "
Then goosing the crowd
by shouting out, " Get Out! "
after a catty sigh
like longtime undying
bookings on, " Tonight "
Blissfully like a kind
of salad made famous
by Julia Child
while getting blubbery
from Monopoly money
As anonymous artisans
wearing conical
likenesses
carved
from bony objects
steeped in red
across a predatory
marital bed stretched
across a frenzied center
like cryogenic stealth
As a common result
early in its run
sometimes funny
sometimes suffering
coming to life at dusk
with an audible stillness
and a look of innocence
in a payola figure
Almost in its original form
seen by many many more
as a small comfort
excerpted from a longer version
with a close-up showing
a handful of loans
nailed in only two takes
late in middle age
Especially legendary
like a stupefying expression
spoken with a biting gesture
like a bug-eyed bonehead
resembling a walrus-tusked chessman
in a Medieval collection as no contest
Revelling in unfamiliar dimensions
with toothpicks and bits of string
glimpsing the unspecific
in an exhibition
scrapped
as a catalog
too daunting
to print given
the obvious
as impossible...
