" Seeking Better Intelligence "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Seeking better intelligence
after thwarted attempts
quickly corrected
as sarin at small scales
judging 'Gatsby' in tactics
of exemplary spats
in adaptation like acrobats'
circus packages with original jackets
of radical tactics for barge traffic
offensive tackles
both brash and flashy
in the rubble of collapse
requiring more capital
during bailouts
as last-chance razzle dazzle
less savvy stagecraft
like sing and dance
as menageries of tragedy
more than crass in first class
on their behalf
like the long-lasting unprepared
slingshots as wallets
squeaking popping
simulating tree frogs
temporary ponds
bombarded by rocks
in marshes of hydrocarbons
like novelties just getting started
exotically slapping a flattened hand
while grasping casualties
fastened to wooden handles
snapping turtle tails with salamanders
while carrying a snake in a bag...
