Beach-Blanket Time Travelers Haiku Series

"Beach-Blanket

Mom Suzán


Captives turned killers
beach-blanket time travelers
dogged, inventive


consoling stories
embracing atrocities
lessons in death squads


restricted victims
actual cataclysm
methods differing


dunderheadedness
ludicrous challenging tests
heroines reset


supreme silliness
clueless self-obsessiveness
hatred of clichés


black-and-white game shows
inside minds minus motives
lamebrained no-brainer


portrayed betrayal
pleasurable concoction
knowledgeable charm


numbers sinking since
groundbreaking remembrances
backtracked trickery


smarmy pseudonym
anonymous publicist
un-idyllic id


zapping across time
synthetically peppy
jelled in the center


just clever enough
grimly holding off amen
huge storms in the end


many elder friends
commemoratively etched
some living, some dead...
