Seen But Not Halted

" Seen But Not Halted "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Seen but not halted
as small drops of oil
cover up enlarging odds
borne in blockbuster parks
like misconduct surpassing
the landings on comets


sometimes frightening sprays of light
while harpoons simultaneously fire,
"How exciting!" gone out of the line of sight zooming by grips tightening

once unthinkable
becoming twice as big
as she and/or he
like criminalized activities
"pink slips" versus "permission slips"

stalking aggravated assault
revenge porn obsessing over
searching the web for dead URLs
suffering emotional distress
as ill-tempered jilted lovers dispense
internet-connected spectacles...
