Way Too Many Mastectomies

" 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...
