" Set 'Em Up "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Set 'em up
primed with bubbles
being holed up
on both coasts
all for a toast
arguably the world's most
spruced-up consolation
glasses raised up to a clink
all for the relief of an angsty
up-and-coming New Year's Eve
as an identity relief
for the far-right-wing
abruptly swinging
far left metronomically
dipping pita into hummus
the consistency of peanut butter
conjuring up clementine struggles
at Sunday Brunch from a food truck
offering virtuous mac and cheese
served up with a bit o' virgin bubbly
kissed with raspberry touches
in a vain attempt to sober up
post going out on a bender...
