Seeking Better Intelligence

" 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...
