" Shortfalls Versus Curtain Calls "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Mulling over the feel
of a shared reveal
ending with pleas
for greater privacy
coming to the fore
of a lifelong
cheer on
by supporters
given over
to a soloist
like the lone
figures of old
notes slowly
juxtaposing
historically loaded
nimble duos
while loping over
a magnum opus
vigorously intoning:
"Let's get the show
on the road!"
as plots diverge
from hardship
and characters
portray malleably
soft-hearted
lead parts
having been
downplayed
over decades
offered as shortfalls
versus curtain calls
gadgets versus eyeballs...
