" Broad Rulings "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Broad rulings
when, "No, No, No, No"
becomes, " Well, maybe "
as flat-footed global traders
raise index fingers
flashing "Número Uno"
versus wind-direction
detection with spit-wetted tips
mimicking vane victories
with indications of record-breaking
climate change unlikely to go away
along with hard-data compilations
of a greater clear-and-present danger
while painstakingly
looking the other way
across a ruinous landscape
both brooding and alienated
having slipped through lassos of truth
"Here we go loop-de-loop
Here we go loop-de-la
Here we go loop-de-loop
All on a Saturday night"...
