" Avast Ye Hardies "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Avast ye hardies
gone out to sea
sailing sailing
over the bounding main
exclaiming rovers'
favorite phrases,
" Ahoy mateys! "
in search
of pieces of eight
as ill-gotten gains
for peg legs
flying skull and cross bones
while free booting for doubloons
having gotten groggy
over galleons of the piratical
"Heave Ho! Yo Ho Ho!
Easy As She Goes!"
urgently surging
off from shore
as once-great
cave walls
look smaller
and smaller
heavily armored colossal intellectual properties
breached by highly classified
viral like materials
hanging in the balance
with de facto bat prowesses
typified by crinkly eyes
plus snowy white goatees
like competing colliders
hibernating worldwide
defined by arousal-torpor cycles
following fine old recipes
of seven sweets plus seven sours
plunked down all at once
smoking and steaming...
