" Way Too Many Mastectomies "
by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán
Are we doing
way too many
mastectomies?
with torch-song intensity
played robustly by proxy
with the moral compass
of a wittily disarming homily
like the last best chance
in a rambling draft
of an uncannily panicky past
left utterly intact
while trying to recapture
a knock-em-down-drag-em-out
torturer and jailer
for women's health care
undeniably distancing
and hedonistically traditional
as wish fulfillment while sprinting
to the nearest Comfort Inn...
