by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

for The Graffs, McGraths,
Pavolkos, Stopeks, Teppers

Performed on YouTube
as, " Gently Appealing "

Gently appealing
less radical
than originally planned
with the bravura of magic
as a convoluted tale
like an iconoclastic pastor
as a quirky slacker
for the must-haves
of blandness
practicing acting
as mild-mannered
has-beens
forever on tap
for virtuosos
of so-so no-nos
Enough to glow
at the base
of a cleaved face
on a basal plane
lulled by a volcano
in a conical shape
with an oozing crater
Greater and lesser
yellowlegs
with whitish marks
on dark upper parts
running then stopping
while nesting
in a shallow depression
with bits of shells and pebbles
streakings on heads
barrings on breasts
underparts awash
low staccatos
spotted Godwits
distinctly larger...
