Ending Up Beneath the Knee

" Ending Up Beneath the Knee "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Bolstering a theory
while packing
for a phantom
camping trip


sunbathing
eating meals
in matching
platinum wigs


driving down
perfectly fine
twisty highways


gearing up
to backing up
into pop-up
campers


slathering
naughtily
serene
sunscreen
onto alter egos


ending up
beneath the knee
like quintessentially
short-term memory


tellingly as tests
of intolerance
held incommunicado
during unstoppable marches



with claims of wanting
while keeping the lights on
by seizing upon equally targeted
retrofitted dollars as mystical manna


celebrating impassive intensity
ho-humming heavily
with no loss of vivacity
visited weekly


no doubt masking
a world passing
without a good night out
soaring up and across
six stories


few branches
and no leaves
of bronzed trees
sooty to garishly flickery


getting too big for skittery
artist colonies in teasingly
promising googly eyed dioramas


as scribbly hurkey-burleys
drawn firmly against whimsically
whirl-like indie filmings...
