Wrangling in Remakes

" Wrangling in Remakes "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Competing visions
already forgotten
in bad lots
from top to bottom

cutting jobs
second largest
with team mascots
in full costume

boggly eyeballs
overly polite
pop-up icons
on slim-line laptops

slipping on promises
once-proud
weakened by edgy
balance sheets

where posh sheep
are more abundant
than people
grazing amid tears

on silly screens
of the largely-serious
A-Listers like semi-mythic
pirates and musketeers

with little collective sensitivity
desperately needed
while lighting up screens
offered up with generosity

that could not possibly
require restraints
for jailbirds and angels
shackled and chained

excavated misshapen
permutations unable
to escape disdain
negotiations underway

with anonymous patrons
of current states after wrangling
in remakes excoriated
by mussed-up eye makeup...
