Distractingly Low-Key Tendencies

" Distractingly Low-Key Tendencies "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Distractingly low-key tendencies
scraping away on turntables
of scalable transformation

reinforced on stage with segues
of digital playback flanked
by video displays in commercial ranks

on the two largest stages
with tempo changes
dubbed with reggae

shouted and sweated away
as the body vibrates
mining dark themes late in a career

with a scrapy, trowelly thingie
scribbling ideas
on buried mysteries

vanishing non-fiction
lacking in spirit
at once perfunctory

curiously and haphazardly
as a jerry-built narrative
unsatisfyingly magical

like slapdash disappearing acts
absurdly melodramatic
yet supernatural

desperately unhappy
with the tone of a struck match
as a declarer ruffs a dummy

playing a club in negative doubles
becoming willing to grin and cringe
for anyone interested in bidding

signing up online worldwide
by waggling
a minutely refined behind

attempting to hide
while waiting in line
for the bobsled ride...
