" Along for the Ride "
by Suzán Jiván
Along for the ride
crouching and sitting
sliding and rolling
as guileless guidelines
like finely paced
stuttering eighth
notes heaving
waves of tones
promoting
the all-knowing
with halfway
crossed legs
like inane
nomenclatures
prone
to finite
variation
as hollered
nonsense
slotted into place
by a rumbling base...

Beyond the Objects
" Beyond the Objects "
by Suzán Jiván
Beyond the objects
despite their origins
waiting in bays
while losing their taste
in the depths of grain
with boldfaced names
on driveway gates
of preservation
running palms across pages
with phrases, " totally gone "
and, " drastically altered "
like professional haunts
reeking of guano
cast in bronze as a colossus
of incongruous agitprops
with taxes involved
whereupon a polyglot
of collective consciousness
stoppered atop a ketchup bottle
with fiberglass blobs
of ad hoc knowledge
and nonchalant generosity
near and far
in impromptu snapshots
ensconced en mass...

A Tense Undercurrent
" A Tense Undercurrent "
by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric...
A tense undercurrent
minus a moral compass
like lurching pickups
lined with newly issued
ammunition for fact-finding trips
while skinny dipping
with machine gun precision
claiming victims with glimpses
of kin during gritty lynchings
up and down stream difficult to glean...

Heavy with Generational Weight

Heavy with generational weight
above the fireplace
diminished by time
and narrowing eyes
after seeing the light
and seeming not to mind
like doe-eyed prototypes
piled high by hijinks
tucked way inside
fading away
after opening a vein...

Analysts Pour Over
" Analysts Pour Over "
by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric
Analysts pour over
who is at fault
for the paltry
week after week
to nearly
everyone they meet
seemingly more upbeat
come to think
as treasuries are squeezed
not having paid anything
in the least
to a state of emergency
unlimited innings
are logged in
as no-hitters
like the unfathomably rich
with a painless history
as periods spin...

Sustain a Struggling
" Sustain a Struggling "
by Suzán Jiván, Mom

for Rebecca, Russ
Jenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric...
Sustain a struggling
partly by governments
in long runs
becoming outgunned
by the difficult to stomach
caustic questions
in presidential elections
a long way from a heyday
that will not update
well beyond expectations
taken off the table
as more playful
trials and tribulations
tried later...

Problems Riddle

Problems riddle
honing in
on deeply
embarrassing practices
cementing
a major shift politically
with crackling
rallies of activists
as chanted backlashes
championed
by drafted parents
without awareness
of puritanical pasts
still grinning for pictures
on black-and-white film
whittled down in one sitting...

Whether she's dressing down
