" 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...
