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...
