"Neither Revised nor Reviled"...

" Neither Revised nor Reviled "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Neither revised
nor reviled
by trying times
not surprisingly
intertwining
like second strings
stretched to capacity
in a smash hit
on the other hand

departures from counter-
balancing standards
like pure slapstick
without detracting
from catastrophic
backslapping

unhampered
by "Never-Never-Land"
moneybags
while fluttering fans
and batting lashes
as heroines
of no-frills scarcity

coming well in advance
of potential backers
having stashed
fanciful stacks
of cold hard cash
in the distant past
racked by a paralytic
fear of failure...
