" Sleights of Hand "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Sleights of hand
nearing their finale
not going quietly
trilling with delight
ascending highly
hastening to add
a hand-cranked
home-made
old-fashioned
getting laughs
running down
lists of answers
tending to drag
on the action
yet fitting
into character
as an inflatable dancer
imaginatively shareable
nostalgically hands-on
landmark castles and mansions
housing peace-loving factions...
