" Keep Tabs Warily Haiku Series "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Enduring time warps
pedestrian directed
movie-nerd content
grubby middle class
as "sort 'a, kind a's"
encroaching nightmares
barely pubescent
inharmonious households
stoke virginities
disoriented
visual austerity
jittery experts
zombies run amok
rusted automobile husks
beaming mediums
playing hide and creep
relentlessly uneasy
paranormal ilks
unflinching visions
ectoplasmic genre tricks
half-finished slim jims
last-minute wishes
as hauntingly suspicious
glaring resistance
mockumentaries
uneasy intimacies
laugh-out-loud grannies
eagle-eyed geezers
extremely tense demeanors
contemplated graves
waiting nervously
unsmiling intensity
first-time directing
horror film faithful
avidly fanatical
keep tabs warily
preposterous lies
unelegantly argued
the rules are the rules
subtly invented
stubbornly independent
capital letters
morality tales
flashing anticipation
terribly teary
strenuous panache
liberated playfulness
consciously gallant
wistful tapestry
reaffirmed longevity
female rivalries
far from guaranteed
resentments never addressed
angry aimlessness
shrieking news released
denied while on camera
picture snapping crowds
silent film routines
generations now defunct
amid drudgery
sightseeing rabble
delusional daytrippers
speaking one by one
title characters
taking chances of landing
parts in snarky plays
sneering auditions
hardbitten supervision
stirring bitterness
swooning with rapture
vanishing hours
minus Sturm und Drang...
