Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Offered presciently
intermittently
as a romper
rather than a thriller
yet all-too-frequently
becoming casualties
of the way-too-scary
family entertainment
moving onto other
better things
unflinchingly
like voice teachers
reading Tweets
waking up early
like singled-out
garment steamers
fully acknowledging
senses of equity
assessing unexpected
wrinklings of full-blown egos
being pressed into empathy
after well-tempered
palate cleansings
minus bitter defense
mechanisms
from the assigned
taste buds
during free-streaming feeds
while spouting resolutions
on New Year's Eve
like synchronized falling balls
used as noise makers
pluck your magic twanger
froggie poof...
