Onward to the Utmost

" Onward to the Utmost "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Onward to the utmost
fragility in a dead
reckoning with history

blisteringly angry
with everything gripping
especially with the middle finger

engagingly wrapped
around a sweaty glass
gotten well in hand

grasped mug and handle
chock full of suds
bubbling like none other

yet holding its head
intriguingly unsteadily
after getting caught in a draft

swigged hit-or-miss
lose and absurdist
undisguised like
apocalyptic high jinks

so to speak
while tweaking
hops and barley

simultaneously sipping
brimming margaritas
rock salt on rims

spying stiff celery sticks
poking out of potent
glasses of Bloody Mary's

pouring over over shaken
Mimosas as makeovers
going going gone

removed from the roster
flipped over into the rather-soggy
after playing multiple
buttered-up roles old chum...
