"Seemingly Drab"

" Seemingly Drab "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Seemingly drab
but popping
with personality
and detail
at the outset
credited with invention
as shuttered Bethlehem

only microns thick
knocking down bridges
relying on invisibility
as odes to armies
after separating soda pop
from aluminum cans

along with increased
rates of cancer
and miscarriage
upon being spiked
with lime phosphates
or sodium hydroxide

from deep inside
a " Silent Spring "
oxidizing within the grip
of corrosive mystery...
