" Right There at the Top "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Right there at the top
given a polish
to existing problems
amid graceful palms
and luxury spas
for people watchers
gone bonkers
along promenades
of seafront properties
pitching and putting
past bunkers
under construction
unobstructed
as seen in screening
rooms of tycoons
with creative yens
for overdevelopment
staring wistfully
while white knuckling
across the skin of our teeth
above neighbors balconies
while hovering over shrubbery
carrying above-average
nursery price tags sprouting fantasies
amid lifelong bonsaied plantings...
