Some Months After

" Some Months After "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Some months after
a convivial hour and a half
of chatting in dark glasses
after parenting with a vague
sense of betrayal
as relationships fray
in bad taste for babies
of formerly chaste
travel agents
seeking tech-savvy
destinations
at less than
the standard rate
these days
on an executive's pay
with little or nothing to say
literally anchored
as the sun breaks
loosely based
on all sorts of strange
emanations
from freckled faces
orchestrated
as UV rays
like the latest
permutations
of stationery
noisemakers
situated
in order
to dissipate
syndications
on and off stage
as thoughtful
commentary
for moving targets
as have nots
rambling across
unmarked car parks
amid rampant brambles
over vast expanses
with travel bans
for unimpressive fashions
taking advantage
of embarrassing
undervalued talents
slamming footprints
in a sprint in order
to keep thin...

And Other Ephemera

" And Other Ephemera "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

And other ephemera
as some of the cleverest
known draftsmen
at the academy
with flashes
of vivacity
in pen-and-ink
slavishly copying
biblical scenes
replete with second-
hand knowledge
wobbly with pomp
by proxy
in sympathy
for somewhat
less stuffy
nude studies
like lifeblood
from unwieldy scythes
with vertical tines...

Aboard the Ship as It Sinks

" Aboard the Ship as It Sinks "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Aboard the ship
as it sinks
under previous
agreements
meant to be
discoveries
of absurdities
like a shining pastiche
from a previous era
suddenly becoming
lovestruck
by firing a gun
as an introduction
to gushing subcultures
like teenage crushes
notoriously abrupt
crumbling under
after taking the plunge
in public...

Given In Bid to Buy

" Given In Bid to Buy "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Given in bid to buy
while testifying
via satellite
over hacking
with a coterie
almost whole-
heartedly
by promising
dollars
as no problem
in mind-boggled
markets
of popular topics
like earthquakes
and colossal squid
on Netflix
along with
a lovelorn
monumental
score...

Flammulated Owl

" Flammulated Owl "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

I

Flammulated owl
variegated red and grey
within the range of The Great Basin

II

Best located
as hoarse hollow hoots
loosely roosting in communal seclusion

III

Chiefly diurnal
spotted watching
for finely marked mobbing songbirds...

Hiccup White Fur

" Hiccup White Fur "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

I

Hiccup white fur
murky origins
sharp-witted
chilly receptions
in face offs
over austerity
like dilemmas
against
an inherently
tactical
background
on gravel

II

Looking
for now
as a first
round
of rattled
combatants
no matter how
completely drowned out
by military clout
over browner crowds
of the regally crowned
knuckling down...

In the Life of a Typical

" In the Life of a Typical "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

In the life of a typical
enigmatic title figure
apocryphally
tacking the challenge
of hosanna
for the asking
earned as shares
of rare majesty
like universality
too reckless
as a Gospel concept
emitting jealousy
and obsession
born deaf
as a cast member
of recollection
plaguing the amoral
with gale forces
underscoring
appallingly
clawing
one-foot-
in-front-
of-the-other...

A Flimsy Movie

" A Flimsy Movie "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
and Mom-Mom Suzán

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

I

A flimsy movie
means spiritually
suspense free
including three
sweethearts
without chemistry

II

Minimally funky
and self-adjusted
after messing up
in mixed company
as a mash-up
of the barely functional

III

Rumpled up
and struggling as such
by bonding with the young
becoming taut in the ring
with real poignancy
when fraught
with the torment
of horrific porn...

Laying Bare

" Laying Bare "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
and Mom-Mom Suzán

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

I

Laying bare
portrayals
of parents
down
to the last
detail
drawing
on audiences
held
as performers
coasting along
in avoidance
candidly
and to the point

II


Granting divorces
with the torpid talk
and unenforceable torque
of lackadaisical legalities
contrasted by masses
of masticated marriages
gnashed back-to-back...

Time to Be Swans

" Time to Be Swans "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Time to be swans
of probability
lacking nonstarters
outlined as targets
indicated in a box
of rocky outcrops
in costume
full of darting
like microscopic
Barishnikovs
performed
as ensembles
taking place
in a spare
staging...

Reconvening Multifariously

" Reconvening Multifariously "

by Suzán Jiván aka Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Reconvening multifariously
after exploring in threes
and attracting outpourings
by embodying bottom-heavy
horn sections in residency
less steadily outside
the experimental redirected
as suspect to inspection
like a knock on bruised hearts
by high-prestige pop-rock stars
most modish less modest...

Ever Rarified at Times

" Ever Rarified at Times "


by Suzán Jiván aka Mom
and Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Ever rarified at times
as a staid cosmetic staple
like a must-have capable
unheard of over decades
unknown to nature
come-in any witch way
like cobwebs or cheetah spots
after an abandoned hobby
as a darling of acrylic polish
for eye-popping party-hardy
mass markets as store brands
crammed into woven baskets
with mossy-green grasses
in the advent of collapses
snatched from rafts
of copycats
as stick-on nails
mimicking the color
of menstral blood
coming in flurries
of reluctance
in multiple colors
with lavender tints
that glisten
in puppy mills
sprawled in brick
near the fetid
collective river
filled with pungent pickles
smattered with autistic risk...

Gains in DNA

" Gains in DNA "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

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

Gains in DNA
at the increasing speed
of gene-sequencing
enabling genomes
of both one-and-onlys
and two-by-twos
to vituperatively
tattoo humans
in conjugal pools
of blacks and blues
connubially subsumed
by an inscrutable
pinky bone and tooth...
