Even the Infallible

" Even the Infallible "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Even the infallible
in impalpable channels
as embarrassingly mastered
as a sad alligator's rippled tail

like primal dance
through dueling
hints of ritual
with the gestural fitness
of quicksilver
appearing in angst-ridden
films of virility

bloated then thinned
barely nimble
with delicate flickers
of woodwinds
scampering figures
skittish bells and whistles
tucked in by gusts of wind
likened to what ifs ably but timidly...

Never Having the Nerve

" Never Having the Nerve "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Never having the nerve
of revellers none the less
unimpressively
strumming cellos
with the good intentions
of veritable terror

strung together
across the neck
without question
like a tightroping guest
until the song ends

leading to dread
in a flurry of confetti
nodding discontentedly
as beads of smelly sweat
pelt every directive

getting depressed
becoming yellowed
at neither end
subsequently
clamped together

clasping hands
to gasping mouthes
predictive of an ouster
being read aloud
and pushed out
like crunching sounds
into the loudly unallowed

in unflappable atmospheric
ballads of organic gaggles
of honky-tonk gals
pecking at twanging tangles
of vituperative brambles of blue...

Copycatted Tiny Actions

" Copycatted Tiny Actions "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Bees, sinkholes
like copycatted
tiny actions
of sincere flattery

undoubtedly proactive
like reactions
to greenhouse gases
and rising demands
of half way there

as anguished simulations
clawing their way
to the majorly strange
mimicries of nature

like inspired destinations
of DNA aided greatly
by evolutionary chains
all ablaze with ribonucleic
algebraic computations

enabling closely related
independently generated
ornamentation
in long-been-operational
Homo Sapiens

like interspecies mating
spreading populations
of exquisitely related
juggled gray
matters of the brain
as vanishings
of practicums
in scavenged
simple math...

Come to This

" Come to This "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Come to this
famously free
of principled parties
like graft and gluttony


ending boozily
with gift-wrapped bribery
and complimentary toiletries
while saving face
by embracing throw aways
of funneled public monies


left vulnerably prone to toppling
in narrowing eligibilities
within the grip of slippery six figures
like crimping innocent children
solicited by predictive disinterest


butting in browbeaten
standing out without
questions of how
in nightmarish sharings
of rambling mourning shams
as clumps of elephant dung
plus pots of money-crunched money...

Malleability by the Fifth

" Malleability by the Fifth "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Malleability by the fifth
as Sumerian mined silver
adorning wrists with forbidden
pinkish mixtures in metric millions
of chrome-plated bricks
sailing through sinisterly
superstitious stained windows

as roll outs
of bronzer palettes
and garish eye shadows
with the likes
of bright white outs
of everyday life

omnipresent
as high-end
maxi dresses
inexplicably
print happy
on bland hair-
drying chairs
with pocket squares

loosened after
a nail-biting heiress
small and pale
under banners
of bikini wax
looking elsewhere

unexpected
like invited friends
playing princess
single at present
speaking up
after running
over budget

bit by bit in high bids
for itchy trigger fingers
from wedding to will
in crashes that kill

taking hits plus interest
as algorithmic gambles
for financial last chances
facing wrath after posting bail
while traveling first class

devilishly complex
interdependent
as whimsical pencils
with neuromuscular
elements of yellowed
credentials for experts
of efficacy reflexively
letting up as recklessly
deadly soft lead

in detents of sensitivity
on the brink of relinquishing
breathing while swallowing
crispy crunchy bubbles
and beams mealy or mushy
audibly high-speed longevity
as wild figs with viscosity
between the teeth...

Closer to Its Quarry

" Closer to Its Quarry "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Closer to its quarry
mainly carrying cachets
of lost patience

ostensibly focusing
on low profiles
for the first time

while breathing life
as limits derived
by straining rightly

being hired
like a tight knee-high
across time

like homemade
moonshine
still figuring out
the hows and whys

persuaded to rely
on dried corncob pipes
over the long while
as drought survivors

unfazed by fake breakups
as mistaken moderators
coming apart unbothered
by bowl-shaped parts

made up of cacophonies
of knots like unfathered
zombies struck hard
as heartless novices...

Elaborate Stunts Forthcoming

" Elaborate Stunts Forthcoming "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Elaborate stunts forthcoming
as alter egos of off-screen
boards of trustees
immersed in teaching

for the time being
at least temporarily
like cogent themes
for only the lonely
row by row
as moviegoers

distinctly sticky
getting pretty
gummed up
by fund-raised
money

realized grungily
as encounters
facing the facts
back to back
as actual
advancements
in green-dyed hair
like random banter
finding its bearings

often hilariously
after slipping from grips
of subconsciousness
darting straight-bodied
into one another's arms

cartwheeling badly
into classical romance
dancing in pairs
soon began

among the last
of casual chitchats
as unadorned acting
in simmerings
of exasperance
not really mattering...

Popular Genre Blurrings

" Popular Genre Blurrings "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Popular genre blurrings
on rosters of polyglot
ensembles of artists
largely and calmly
at the crotch of the hardly-
begun remarkably orthodox

returning compliments
by singing, bobbing
and weaving poly-
theistically while looking
teary during severe
freelance careers

as seasons of perversity
suggesting relief
in mood-darkening lotteries
of the odd likely to become
more bizarre as flattering bas
reliefs of discomfitings

in bewilderings
of multiple meanings
lying tantalizingly
with kaleidoscopically
demonic harmonies
as staged geomitries
throbbing draconically...

Having Sworn Off

" Having Sworn Off "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Having sworn off
imposing performances
with booming
lifelong preclusions

of dub-step decadence
with vengeance
as extensive introspection
like thefts of identities

redirected by stealing the credits
of false impressions
exclusively this weekend
as one of many

like libidinous questions
in retrospectives
of atmospherics
with defective sketches
against stand-up sets
antidepressed...

Being Leaked

" Being Leaked "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Even so
down the road
doubled over
as engrossed
shareholders
with economic
woes

like weakened colonies
of killer bees
feeding off debris
where more research
is needed

being leaked
as the most recent theme
in a glossy magazine
for former marketings

as strengths
and weaknesses
of cybersecurity
reignited online
minus the how or why
like declassified
primetime headlines...

Certainly Doesn't Tell

" Certainly Doesn't Tell "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Certainly doesn't tell
across trails and over steps
of the temple as residents
getting attention joined together
in storytelling of the fairly better
leaves of plenty as toxic breaths

scorched to death around the bend
as a wall presence of momentous
retellings defending themselves
with hundreds of letters in succession

having weathered the threat
of complex trends irregardless
of the potentials for specialty medicines for one percent
of cost pressures in a quarter century
of extinct species still soaring
from under a frozen utter...

Already Rattled

" Already Rattled "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Already rattled
taking chances
with handsomer
harsher & sadder
" For Sales "

with penchants
for spare
thumbnails
as shaggy
stand-ins
of irrational
cyberbattle

sinking back
to pornographic
cannon balls
on the floor
of monochromatic
khaki tactility

bearing witness
to history's
reimagined
slinky zigzags
of scandal
as scrapbooks
on canvas

as scanned
overcrowdings
hatching and flailing
with well-known facts
of expansive
fragmented shares...

On the Dust Jacket

" On the Dust Jacket "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


On the dust jacket
electromagnetic meddling
as sexy and reflective portents
from the northern steppes
of filial developments
with power centers


having weathered
complex specialties
of higher spending
for natural selections
using frozen cells


gone extinct
in a short-term sleep
overrun by zombies
like bodyguards
for lovelorn goddesses
with their clothes on


with the fire and ice
of unrecognizable
mainlining societies
firing split-second spikes
in neuroscience
conjuring up surmised slides


in the midst of what has been
trending as specialists
flopping badly in bailouts
hurled back and forth
in financial storms
of religious disorders
for the desperately poor


with cardinal warnings
to enforce the law
challenged in court
by complaints of extraordinary
rising costs for the unaffordable
from years before
with fiscal notes of caution


diggin' the dancin' queen
steppin' to a bouncin' beat
of the fitness industry
in a demographic shift
for tens of millions


fillin' in on field trips
for children
with noncredit certificates
demandin' more skills
of grim difficulties
while payin' tuition
with a hug and a kiss
after altering history...

Lost in the Aisles

" Lost in the Aisles "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Lost in the aisles
of tailored advice
trained to push the lines
with every client
for a starting price

snoozing outside
like art-world scions
by factors of five
in high-profile
machine gun sights

scrutinizing unreliable
cease fires during overnights
on trial for prime-time genocide
of street styles in hi-def live

while lapel grabbing quite nicely
in the honeyed light
of a secret indictment...

Vicious and Widely Scattered

" Vicious and Widely Scattered "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Vicious and widely
scattered lethal reaches
of weakening hierarchies
as subcommittees
of low probabilities
win the papacy


after being leaked
by authorities
by pulling off
long and costly
victories
while scrutinizing
the Holy See
still remaining
to be seen
as centuries
of unseemly
wealth building...

Fracking Through

" Fracking Through "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Plummeting misjudgments
badly run fiscally stunned
deeply rooted structures

gone public
with the tight budgets
of all at once

fracking through
destitute fossil fuel
as nuclear fusion's
muted tumors

precluding
the cloud computing
of altered egos

slowly sweeping
boards of trustees
of the distinctly sticky

qualities of indignities
squiggling inimitably
and all accordingly

in the face of dwindling
stability as a tsunami
hits with a double click...

Alive But Unconscious

" Alive But Unconscious "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Alive but unconscious
searching for the origins
of anatomically modern
self-consciousness


as a complex process
in a single shot
of chronically despondent
dearths of possibility


in a garden of gunshots
as toxic espionage
for extant hunter-gatherers
on biomedical paths


like malpracticed
gender gaps
with the absence
of motor accidents


while in the lab
being observed through glass
with software to track
all that's been haphazardly added...

Among the Out-of-the-Way

" Among the Out-of-the-Way "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Among the out-of-the-way
obliquely related
golden ages
in windswept
ancient havens
of rare occasions
waxing and waning


split in many ways
stealing away in peeling
phases of daylight
on an agrarian lifeline
of the unlikely
one seed at a time


typified by downright
tired diarists knighted
by titles while cycling
and socializing
with bleary-eyed
weekend misers
like ibex kids
bleating on a cliff
with voice-over skills...

On the Verge

" On the Verge "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

On the verge
of a still world
as milk thistles
combat
liver illness

indicative
of being
indifferent
to differences
by definition
on a treadmill
bit by bit
put at risk

as an unsuspecting
sieve of symptoms
exposed to the skin
at high repetition
for caregivers

in mapped areas
of cheatgrass
beating the laggards
by turning back
to Skull Valley
after behaving badly
well in advance...

An Infamous Numbness

" An Infamous Numbness "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Lamented as such
like a studded
bondage clutch
with a turned-up cuff
worn with the black pumps
of hard-earned wisdom


mixed in comfortably
under the assumption
of an infamous numbness
minus an utterance


in primary colors
for stuffed puffins
stitched up front
with the words,
"Bubbles
Style Consultant
Diaper Love"


sweet and sulky
with humbler means
like women of mystery
cinched in by overworked dictums...

Now & Forever

" Now and Forever "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Now and forever
confronting questions
as trend-setters spending
decades defending
time spent on regrets


goose-stepping
into incidents
of irrelevance
lacking common sense
with promises to do better
artificially suppressed
by filtered content


like the most interesting
forms of self-expression
requiring adherence
to settlements


levying fines coming to light
unadvertised as being inclined
towards denial in every sales drive
replete with dollar signs...

Looking No Worse

" Looking No Worse "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Looking no worse
forced to reverse
strapless fishtail gowns
while wearing chubbies
perched in front
of ubiquitous clusters

ornately dressed
as top-ten gets
projected with witchy
wish fulfillment
where small talk is big

with crow-feather sleeves
unveiled as long and weedy
like entire series of extremely
nipple-bearing sheathes

in the heart of hunkily
moody summonings
cast as runaways' fashions
for bad girls amassed
by fanatical ballet masters

courted warts and all
on busy street corners
across from the all-important
brick-and-mortar storefront
case in point...

Sloppily Managed Swaggerings

" Sloppily Managed Swaggerings "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


In an old mold
belittling
the political
since contradicted
by limits
in the quick of non-victory
whittled away
by the gusting winds
of difficulty


shaped by policies
of low profiles
overrided
by prior rights
all the while
at tallying sites
of insurgent fighters
for the first time


despite highly-qualified
actual hires
paralyzed by mismatched
requirements
attempting to breathe life


as the listless arrive
from meager sidelines
otherwise misaligned
by security profiles


like wine tasters
as good candidates
of sloppily
managed swaggerings
with blank stares
after splashes
of sulphuric acid
at the academy of dance
ending disastrously...

The Forum of the Forgone

" The Forum of the Forgone "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

The forum of the foregone
like the blocking and lighting
of slightly go-lightlies
tossed off without a thought
for the long-story short



as goof balls
of the multistory
sumptuously stuffy
momentously fluffy
fist pumps
of accompaniment



like the funniest injustice
in lasers of Monday
with drumsticks overcome
by bumbling conundrums
of a kitsch like culture
still struggling in the clinches



suddenly becoming
spruced up by subtleties
while on the cheap
of a walloping
hissing eschewing
the splendid uses
of a gentle spoof



slick-suited
increasingly loopy
skewerings
of palate-clearing
slapstick
with the winsome
platitudes
of dizzyingly silly
little ditties



acting as savagely
flapper wits
without smidgens
of withering
as tongue-lashing
shenanigans
finally pan out...

Loose Affiliations

" Loose Affiliations "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Long but orderly
in many cases
struggling, shrunken
in spite of influxes
of the young

hollowed out by upbeat
kinetic energies
during striking ironies
fashionably stymied
by conflicting climates

after spates
of the hate-related
instantly famous
headed off
by real estate stakes

as squatters claim
the relaxed shapes
of loose affiliations
mined by synthesizers
far outside misalignments

cited by tribal divides
killing up to nine
in widening infighting
in spite of well-financed
privatized trials

mystified by buying
low and selling high
during much-needed
family ties like colliding
sibling rivalries
for bragging rights

while glad-handing with divisive
ties along rope lines
of guarded smiles
and laptop bias
as mountains of wire
are liable to be kept in mind
for the meanwhile...

Demonically Volatile

" Demonically Volatile "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


In her home
more than an installation site
of collaborative devices
becoming fully pulped
unlike any other


dislodged
from the top spot
tested by doctors
torn apart
by wrenching dramas


turning into art
as hermetic poppies
in sonic costumes
minus problems
or conflict as travel options


in "Carmina Burana"
like cracker-topped arguments
skedaddling without a collar
for cinematographers
imparted as works in progress


in arduous comedy plots
with stretches of harmony
in any genre
declining comment
as demonically volatile...

Innocuously Simultaneous

" Innocuously Simultaneous "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán


Unbuttoned intensity
cunningly hustling
often touchingly
sometimes funnily
pecking at crumbs


lovingly troubled
emotional jugulars
at the minimum
concentrated as such


poutily sullen
noticing none other
as too innocuously
simultaneous
nominal gods on holiday...

Select Engagements Start Today

"Select Engagements Start Today"

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Persuasively urgent
insistently personal
radical disparities
overlapping
in feature-length
packages for advocates
with exploratory trappings
of friendly narratives
replete with mass declaratives

stirring the sleeping to wake
like lifelong relations
being excavated by cavalcades
of previous administrations
on cables of moral outrage--
select engagements start today...

Cocked Like Rakes

" Cocked Like Rakes "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

A hush-hush
to-and-fro
wearing caplets
of opaque plastic
like master tailors
in minute detail


as swirls of hair strands
tossed into bags
while holding hands
in ready-to-wear armchairs
of past disasters already aired
as criss-crossed travails


stamped as
"sample sale"
where available
like procrastinating
ladies in waiting


being tidied up
in French waves
as narrow waterways
of blackened shades
with cobra shapes
chafing against left banks


long and tangled over estates
remanded for reconsideration
chastened by wrangling
as inhumane hazings
by elaborately staged
faked accusations


while wearing green berets
during bootcamp training
cocked like rakes
in favor of high ranks...

Forget Seeing Paris

" Forget Seeing Paris "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Lacking permission
for nonlethal assistance
as an era drifts
towards submissiveness


looking remarkably familial
like conflicted officials
with observers' predictions
of deliberative vulnerability


increasingly worrying
during ticker-tape parades
with agreements for more talks later
expected to raise the wayside
of tumultuous reigns


as aspirations
of unfortunate tastes
sidling up later
to all purpose tables
along cinderblock hallways
of subterranean space


paddling to safe places
of hand-painted faces
by carrying the days
as screenplays


as retro-grade
real estate agents
slice sunflower-seed cake
behind highly-glazed
window bays of credit takers...
