Derogatorily Altered

" Derogatorily Altered "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Polite and cordial
derogatorily altered
on deed-of-gift forms


breaking into grins
never knowing
which ink to spill


lividly wincing
flicks of wrists
banging fists


walking off cliffs
lacking wills
starling beginnings


highly suspicious
worried well
imprecisely in our heads


old-fashioned spectacles
hunched over desks
with ideal vitamin levels


scorpion venom
prescribed without question
cyber sick chronically ill...
