The First Lure

" The First Lure "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


The first lure
of the persistently perky
not so sure


as strictures
of anonymity
still at issue


like sadistic headmistresses
dwarfed by unscripted millions
in silence for just minutes


sustaining interest
while resembling mannequins
front and back with a faint slap


neither salacious nor pornographic
sensual or ecstatic
breaking through the placid


mild-mannered before hands
as insomniacs gone mad
in song tracks backed by bands


firm and passionate
unlikely to react
as alternatives to a sandman


stringy-haired protagonists
take their chances at random
amounting to dares


like the outlandish
chomping on club sandwiches
while the air crackles...
