Like a Brand-New Motto

" Like a Brand-New Motto "

by Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

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

A fearlessly original eye
unprepared for the honeyed
hostility and acidic pleasantries
of an old sweetheart
like a brand-new motto
long since forgotten
loudly and clearly
in a steady stream
of placid freedom
beautifully acted
and carefully adapted
to changing realities
as a subconscious scream
From pitiable to downright admirable
bidding farewell to tiny white lies
as unlikely reminders
for the population at large
Amid the big willingness to live
within a strict grid system
as hardly limited
like granitic culprits
of the familial
linked between misery
and authenticity
when pushed through a straw
slack-jawed during courtship
with soothing wooing
becoming brutish
with both dewiness
and ridicule as amusement
Posturing with an attitude
of sourness
with an edge of hysteria
and a steely sense of self
as tellingly cherish-able
when animated with wise-
cracking veracity
as completely pip-squeaky...
