The Smarts of Snarky Nonchalance

" The Smarts of Snarky Nonchalance "


by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Viral stars
biggest pops
striking nerves
after rehearsal


unmistakably throaty
toasted composers
under the batons
of bodies of major rock


flimsy facades like cardigans
of not-so-sweet moms
with the smarts for snarky
nonchalance with cream off the top


cults for the modest
clicking into sync
in 60's beats per minute
not bothered
by the postmodern
lactose intolerant


red-lettered doubleheaders
moody and elemental
swallowed by the fog
over cocktails cropping
up after up chucking
stinking clumps of grub


pulped into mulch
thin skinned full blooded
stunningly sliced lengthwise
while traversing borderlines


abducted by pirates
of pantomime with supertitles
tongue in cheek squinting bleakly
hooting publicly marveling dourly
wandering around as an undervalued
battle ax with a need for human contact in secret passages
of asteroid areas clicking and clacking
with captors in mixed body bags


depressing nearly every button
available getting tough fast
through every interactive patch
of bunny rabbits losing stamina
with absurd answers for the antic
morality of blackbirds waging attacks


desperately unhappy
steeped in misery
trying to flee life-smitten
strictures of private convictions
and traditions minus classicism


towering pillars of kitsch
being played with a willowy
self-consciousness
simmering getting testy


hermetically vanishing sexually
ambiguous like enigmatic gibberish
sounding sulky as hipster history
of frenemies swapping acting tips


percolating mostly
as sharp staccatos
in swap shops of old sparkles
plinking guitars from prompters
on monitors with the slickness
and confidence of the barest
of margins of optimism


no dogmas moving on
rooted to the spot that dissolves
into bottlenecks of post pop
neither aggressively nor groggily...
