Making Their Way

" Making Their Way "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Making their way
toward moose attacks
and plastic surgery mishaps
as woefully inadequate
excess capacity


on balance sheets
that don't matter
for hedge fund managers
of air travel


seeking passengers
with the exodus of capital
by big carriers in intimate raptures
of mauve and lilac set to clarinets


pollinated by orchestral yellows
uptempo in tangos of flirtation
touchingly well placed
with the delicacy of ballet


put into place as urbane repartee
like celebrated gangsters
ever sacrificing grace
of filthy-rich patrons


on and off stage
as outlandish clichés
whiling away
scissoring legs
igniting fracases
in instants of rage
all the more devastating...
