Inhibiting the Amygdala

" Inhibiting the Amygdala "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Meaningful endpoints
shaggily majestic
capped with density
as ruffs encircling necks

heads spinning and swiveling
with admonition for the pivotal
from elsewhere on the head
like facial expressions
in pencil sketches

of no mutual threat
from an expert's pen
with the willful intensity
of a toxin-injected forehead

inhibiting the amygdala
into submission
by celebrity physicists
with armies of caregivers

implying coexistence
as sexually irresistible
stemming from the bigness
of a placebo impossible to dismiss

like bewitchingly brilliant
statisticians of cataclysms
across hackneyed backstories
trafficked implacably

as a rash of swagger
in a swashbuckling mask
giving voice to a tale
from the safety of club chairs

for the last lucid male
clamoring placidly
for bold action
tricked into marrying

self-sharing urgency factors
with nominal attractions
to the out-of-character dastardly
raising ratings and hackles

in minute detail
like the royal family
appearing radically
in brash ballets
of the past

pared away into outer space
with great care taken
satisfyingly replaced
by camellia cascades
on a cloud-covered day
of unexplained infatuation

with the power to astound
while looking strangely out
of place in the initial stages
of frustration counterbalanced
in lower case as a mainstay

like a railway being laid
under hard labor
with little praise from valets
of ghostly natures

as splendid
bellwethers
at street level
without exception
slightly less
than viral contents

like highly penetrating
cruelties of an age
with comblike serrations
two times their own weight
abundantly veined...
