Cradled with String

" Cradled with String "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Amid So Many "

Amid so many
lucky breaks
explained away
as parting waves
of heartache
like a mild
narcotic
with a likeness
to headlines
over the rest
of our lives
Staying
up late
as pain-
fully
long days
like
a range
of off stages
over
the decades
adjacent
to diluted
moods
of refusal
like a hula
Cradled with string
while balancing
alternatives
to pandering
as patchy pageantry
like copycats
of the drab
With a flourish
amid the rather
real-life gag
of untapped cat's
cradles being replaced
by flirtation cast
haplessly backward
and fizzling out
as juxtaposed solos
fated only to pose
at the opening salvo...

Familial Fragments

" Familial Fragments "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " All Got Together "

All got together
as an overamification
of familial fragments
in sturm and drang
As distinctive talents
featuring alien casts
in versions of glass
seen as mirrors
of the mercurial
let alone
as an opening
like a star
pitcher
with an honest
moniker
hardy begun
Heavily salinized
at high speed while flying
upside down and backwards
with an uncertain laugh
in a slam-bang tank
filled with a fistful of skin
and a vial or unidentifiable pills
Starting circling
while reading something
but coming up bloody
while tucked away in amongst
a jumpy pulse
still docked with an itchy trigger finger
Never released after lingering
with hit or miss as wistful listenings
like preludes to oral histories
in ancillary channels
pretty happily
Successes represented
as vocal chemistry
with a lettered
gentleman
from strains
of the almost famous
idealized like blinders...

Wizard-Seeking

" Wizard-Seeking "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Not Quite Farcical "

Not quite farcical
offering an over gloss
for a salsa and meringue cohort
as an impromptu put off for cast calls
at the complete annoyance
of purportedly loyal audiences
Not quite pulling off the tenacity
of a sometime thriller
imbued with youth in a biomusical
like a decisive timeline
for flinty survivors
with strong song styles
in working order as passions still
underwritten within an original script
Left uninvestigated since
a wizard-seeking
gimmicky deliverance
by a tatted wisecracking
masked man as the answer
to lonely wales
within a backstabbing
riot of spangles
And the beat goes on
as an uninterrupted thumping
of disruptive percussion
finding the courage to drum up
life's laments summed up
as punch drunk...

Under the Spell

" Under the Spell "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Must Be Done "

Must be done as much
as a thrashing man
and an overbearing female
fueling the jukebox
of an unsound heart
like a hit-packed
show stopper
retooled
by uprooted boomers
Trying really really hard
in belle canto stardom
on tele-charge
as innocuous, ungodly
and largely charm-free
buried underneath
reordering glee
Pioneering revivals
in the twilight
like a diva-sized
ego that never dies
after a haunting life
hiding
out otherwise
inside
indecipherable
overnights
Fallen
under the spell
of a hooch-swilling
bawdy talker
mixing
sordid torch songs
with little more
than overwrought
rotating casts
of amassed
farcical criminal
fragility clinched
with narcissistic
rigidity...

Gesture and Geometry

" Gesture and Geometry "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Off-Putting Starkness "

Off-putting starkness
of chattering objects
in high contrast
like giant tree slices
of self-conscious modesty
within earshot of a forest
Few and far in between
gesture and geometry
of the long-lost often
overlooked either
industrious or lucky
like flingers of zingy
lines outshined
by a gaudy good time
In a long song and dance
all about a cappella
as full potential
when collectively stepped
above all the rest
with the exception
of a wrenchingly placid set
After a crash landing
with a con man
in a failing cast
with spent passion
and avarice...

Longstanding

" Longstanding "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " There Is No Next "

There is no next
in undreamt attempts
to remember
after mulling over
being in the know
through voice overs
cobbled together
as odds and ends
conjuring hallways
clogged with tomorrows
In a dented wall
crumpled on the floor
in foot-long flute songs
in short, longstanding
as manuscripts
from the past
In a rant of gasping
thin air
in full-scale blaring
impairment
of future heirs
In formidable
stills
of maudlin mundanity
dating
from the old days
as blinking
sweeps
on a radar
screen
of incoming
blips
in nano
minutes...

Miniature Differences

" Miniature Differences "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Lauded by Critics "

Lauded by critics with a flicker
for anyone interested
in miniature differences
in wit as a state of weariness
without a trace of vagueness
between action and restraint
Shockingly clinical blighted
by road signs funneling light
toward matinee idols
in full flight with spikes
of sapphire scrutinized
by actual life on multiple sites
Guided by bona fides
from earlier times like strivings
in little bits brimming
with papier-mâché figures
as blissful walk-ins
Imagining similar skits
intermittently picturing
mounting multichannel
legacies unflinchingly
with cerulean skin
above suspicion
Like funkier
digital quips
slightly off-kilter
when joining
the ticket
with dissenting
opinions
appearing as free-
spirited mimics
invariably
with antipathy
and added
instability
Executed
in gridded
order all
for a cause
of enforced
symmetry
all according
to inordinate
laws dipped
in mortar
with a blurry
aura
Painted toylike
commensurate
with memory
and too
little evidence
while pondered
under stark
closely bobbed
locks
of harshness...

Many Subjects

" Many Subjects "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " A Seemingly Endless Run "

A seemingly endless run
accessorized by a turret
of unsubtleties from graffiti
to junk sculptures
of many subjects in big numbers
As a surveyish introduction
like a digital wunderkind
with an artifice of many riffs
intertwined with the divergent
free-style of desire as snippets
of possibilities in indigo
The most straightforward
sample clips of piano
with devotional
wrists and elbows
bending perilously
between printed sheets
of vintage depictions
of cataclysms
with certain tactility
Both weepy
and clear-eyed
with a sly
altertness
to the divine
typified
by acquired
states of mind
before
your very eyes
Anguished cries
of, " venal, ugly, weird "
as satiric cartoonish boobies
accompanied by looming brutes
rummaging through stupefying refuse
of unctuous love run asunder...

Flashbacks of Bedazzlement

" Flashbacks of Bedazzlement "

by Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ, Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Skin Art, Color Bomb "

Skin art, color bomb
with tatwax aftercare
to raise awareness
by wearing contacts
as upscale blackmail
in flashbacks of bedazzlement
Flipping out as swoon-worthy
tried and true fuzzbox funk
winding up as tweeted
niceties pillaging for freebies
Like a pick-pocketed wallet
beneath the big top
in a blockbuster rostrum
hailing hallowed marks
while slogging through gridlock
in a parking lot of hot prospects
Atop a bluff in an uncultivated way
dressed in black and carrying
a walkie-talkie without railings
as a calming, yet alarming
pretty spectacular
Understood exactly
effortlessly carrying
a gaggle of laughs
way back
as a fitness fanatic
like the who, what, when, why
of backstabbing in a high-
tech class of anti-establishment...

Recreated Nightly

" Recreated Nightly "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " With a Haunting Litheness "

With a haunting litheness
in a once-in-a-lifetime
sound bite
recreated nightly
right
around midnight
among the emptied-out,
" Holy Cow! "
Prefixed with,
" morphosis "
not liquid
or gaseous
like a paradigm
of happiness
as yellow
as a banana
with the moral
standards
of a .org
And an affirmative
vote spoken
with an out-
stretched finger
of perjury
and piracy
while eating
humble pie
Like throwing
a bone
while under
the weather
of yesterday
with a palindromic
name
Catalyzed
as a reaction
to a component
of hemoglobin
by emitting
a slightly
bluish light
like a quiet,
" OOM-
PAH-
PAH! " ...

Seemingly Mesmerized

" Seemingly Mesmerized "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Exploring Decay "

Exploring decay
in a transparent tank
filled with rank
remains
requiring repeated
viewings
of reclining nudes
as seen in minute
smears
of disappearing ink
Leaving
white lines
of monotypes
created
for the entire
multiplication
table
as an exaggeration
filed away
with a suicidal
bride
in a silent
afterlife
As the unprintable
title
of fogged-over
eyes
begrudgingly
ending up
in a prison-
like jumbled
mind
with mood
lighting
Dancing awkwardly
away
from the limelight
seemingly mesmerized
by the finality
of accuracy
snuggling in mink
intent
on retarding it
In fits and starts
with a shot
in the arm
of the obvious
Suspended logic
holding
on with a nod
to the probable
as a cultivated star
of the foreign
with alarm
Like a guest artist
never wanting
the hardly
unwelcoming
milking
of publicity
like
a potbellied
pig
Gone unnoticed
after bringing
down the house
before a crowd
in an intimate
single ring
of the long familiar
within inches...

Otherwise

" Otherwise "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " In Any Column or Row "

In any column
or row
as far as anyone
could tell
participatory
and otherwise
seeming
to fit the criteria
as the opposition
backing the pact
as less plastic
and more transparent
Freestanding
creating heat and glare
while calling for fresh air
Sitting at desks
after winning a measure
from a major rupture
hoisted aloft frozen before
a rapt audience
Sinking into a painting
throughout the day
while admiring incised lines
nearby without a deadline
In a million years earless
in a white bobbed wig
with a tangle of wires
not far behind
replying to queries
of language speakers
in flightless flocks
above a humped ox
In a wound up hubbub
that hums as cousins
of whistling ones
but remembering none...

Experimental Play

" Experimental Play "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

They're supposed to
but so seldom do
as strangely moving
with amazingly fake wings
obviously involved
in some kind of wizardry
in a spruce tree
rotating 180 degrees
while heaving and swaying
at the first stage
of experimental play
Ranging from the occasional
of note today holding babies
atop tables like latter-day
annunciations
as an oddly modern paradox
of found objects
Both brilliant and predictable
rich and inquisitive
mixing and matching
abstractions exactly
as more animal than plant
with a sense of abandon...

Eager to Please

" Eager to Please "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " The Idea Escalated "

The idea escalated
as mannequins of men
stood at the ready
in rows of helmets
with a hefty preface
to a permanent perch
on unabashedly
unflattering wide angles
of taxidermied animals
In social transactions
turning out as unsatisfactory
like tongue-in-cheek
under close scrutiny
as wax effigies smiling blissfully
Well-known ambivalence
as if in a stint
with perpetual helter-skelter
in oversized black bags
embarrassingly
eager to please
like a golden retriever
Shrunken into a raft-sized pallet
then taken to task
as obviously opulent
with golden-flecked prominence
Identifying the "OMG" of orthodoxy
known intimately as emerald green
gradually smoldering
all the livelong day on a bulky frame
With quickness and little finesse
if nothing else as something
extra uninvested in ourselves...

Refreshing Seconds

" Refreshing Seconds "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Showy Cosmos:
"Take One" & "Take Two"

A suspension
of first impressions
in the presence
of refreshing seconds
shown off as breadth
with remnants
of immense spectacles
Largely ignored
as sibilant mourners
just before
the wing of an all-
important altar
Depicting the shore
as a line along water
like prisoners of war
sloshing after a tsunami
Recently seized
as a kind of thing
like a world-altering piece
acquired by a museum
and hung for all to see...

Film Stills

" Film Stills "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Having Spent "

Having spent
the eventual
and lost
momentum
as members
with unsettled
objections
as specialists
in limited aspects
In residence
in flimsy digs
bearing
the fractious
family
gatherings
gasping
gigantic
distended
masses
of indoor
plants
With
unflagging
sympathy
fixed
on just
one thing
artificially
revered
by a first-
sight
greeting
like
a late
medieval
silent
treatment
As puzzling
as crepuscular
bundles
of high culture
corrupted
by primitivistic
reclining women
in libidinous
film stills
splattered
on canvases
of horsehair
in aerobics class...

A Telling Lapse

" A Telling Lapse "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Months Before "

Months before
teetering
while seeking
to rein in
the little-known
thwarted reports
in staccato
With a nod
to a star
as a chaotic
cosmic snarl
disappearing
into inevitability
with indignant
disbelief
Disguised
as bonhomie
adding sharply
to the top
of the heap
in stand-
up comedy
Never
wavering
from
the deadpan
shattered
by huge laughs
laid-back
on laugh tracks
acceding
to demands
held for ransom
With the utmost care
fancied as a man
with the biggest laugh
but a telling lapse
in slight of hand
harkening back
laid bare...

Long Before

" Long Before "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Thank the rapid
expansion
of, "Perhaps"
seemingly
rankled
by, "Denied!"
like a maestro
wielding a baton
of stringent
measures
with deftness
What it took
were
principal
artistic
differences
of belittlement
selling as liquor
in partnership
with hard spirits
irregularly invaded
by the estranged
Unscathed
and unsustained
as, "implausible"
bourn in
linguistic form
long before
moral
distortions
of, "right"
or, "wrong"
Predicated
along the way
over days
and days
of struggling
to stay
middle-aged
in the latest
forays
strongly based
in the day-
to-day
as honey makers
with droning names...

The Official Start

" The Official Start "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " A Grand Scale "

On a grand scale
in wide release
with nothing modest
about being smarter
at the official start
involving a blond-
haired constable
Embracing
unashamedly
all in the name
of a peaceful oasis
regained after betrayal
A mystically fortified
stultifying hybrid
witty, but not campy
while waiting
for the chance
for sword and fantasy
as long and noisy
like a sort of born-again
Cutting the engine
of lifelong obsession
too young to remember
under our breath
Under the pretense
of due diligence
as sung in select motets
minus instruments...

A Singsong Frolic

" A Singsong Frolic "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " A Typical Scene ",
"Take One" & " Take Two"

A typical scene groaning with queries
served with wine & beer on a big-screen TV with a mongrel asleep
at your feet woofing while dreaming
Post-Op everythings as endless critiques of heavy-hitting bleeps
too meaty to succeed
as intervening elite
Refurbished after teetering
on the brink of a gazebo
as a singsong frolic
of toddlers in stroller pushcarts
Almost too smart cerebral & self-
conscious watching and watching
discreetly, mind you, like unlicensed
explosive devices in military archives
virtually improvised...

Behind the Scenes

" Behind the Scenes "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Unwinding Over
a Single Night "

Unwinding over a single night
never diminishing in wit
when resembling critters
with hunched shoulders
in parodies of roles
rarely thought-provoking
as jet-black hairballs
Interrupted mid-mugging
by the nail-biting
of white-bread lives
armed with racing bikes
and shark-like smiles
acted out like oversized
fantasies of complete weaklings
Drawn and fired behind the scenes
of wayward experience
in the shrewdly specious
macho sequencing
of a corruptive hunk
Squirming belatedly
in the nature
of baiting a game
with solipsistic masculinity
called out as catch
with the seductive banter
and trappings of avarice
Snapping into place
as aimlessly chaste...

The Promises of Live Music

" The Promises of Live Music "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Straight into the Heart "

Straight into the heart
of rhapsodic rarities
with shades or irony
just happening to be
endearing as salutes
to the promises
of live music
previously re-recorded
Feeling as tense
as hair metal
with strong effects
on eventual
gait and direction
rooted in sequestered
gestures bereft
of intelligence
In a canny blend
of jokes and jitters
in homage
to the marginally
ripped upper body
voicing a paranormal
screech
with prosthetic teeth...

Carefully Thought

" Carefully Thought "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric

Performed on YouTube
as, " Just Days Away "

Just days away
from the long-awaited
unfortunate if unavoidable
spanning more
of the carefully thought
intricacies of history
As a temporary kitchen
and a substantial dinner
with a simpler main dish
of chicken livers
in a skillet of persistence
indicative of tradition
As blurred vision
preferably fresh
after losing its redness
returning to the question
of aromas as cherries
as a sixth sense
minus bitterness
As influential as memory
proceeding to benefit
pastry chefs
like rum-raisin
mulled flavors
in three layers
As glazed invitations
smashed into a paste
drizzled with the remaining
lightly dressed preparations
after a spell
of cool weather
at the center...

Familiar Genres of Gotcha

" Familiar Genres of Gotcha "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " There is No Innocence "

There is
no innocence
in artfulness
like plastic objects
locked in an archly
unhearty
post-modernist
mock hip-hop
of to and fro
in a rippling solo
of overt
self-disclosure
Prospering
as smartness
in irksome dramas
of reportage
with tick
tick tocks
in epilogues
like forearms
far beyond sidearms
of familiar genres of gotcha
As self-conscious
tentative nods
gone for a romp
gaudily awash
in chaotic
fog-horn honks
promising
knowledge
in foreign fonts
as phenomenons
Like mild larks
as vague targets
of harsh comments
in improbable cabals
chronicled on and off
an awful lot
Skilled in comic
hodgepodges
so much
for the plots
as departures
from suicide watches
trying way too hard...

Up to Date

" Up to Date "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
and Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Largely Translations "

Largely translations laid out
and hard to embrace
through a maze
of widely anticipated
implausible saliency
fast awakening
and up to date
In negotiation
as a coterie
near completion
modestly
and cautiously
with a small light
turned on inside
once in a while
Starting out
as a fractal
without pitch
or timbre
modestly
picturing
the naïveté
as a stranger
shall we say
Down
to the sources
of each tone
along slippery slopes
by probing pathos
further away
from per se
As a warm attachment
walking or chattering
while glowing
in amber somewhere
As the hapless
stepping stones
neither knowing
nor mastering
stratospheres
of inanity
with fine madness
scandalously stacked
As aimless characters
making pitiable statements
like madcap beanbag chairs
trying to spark odd concoctions
dancing in the dark
embarking with eyebrows arched...

Dear to Your Heart

" Dear to Your Heart "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric

Performed on YouTube
as, " It Doesn't Matter "

It doesn't matter
practicing being scared
when monsters
pop out of the dark
and you get your freak on
with a superstar
dear to your heart
while chugging
a cocktail
in spotted pajamas
Screaming can hardly
be helped when suitably
creeped out
in a haunted house
stalked by chainsaws
in dim quarters
Choose any theme
or medium
like a gnarled bottle
in a scarlet box
as angels drop
on what will follow
perched on stars
with fixed repertoires
Miraculously intact
built from scratch
based on patterns
of artifacts
believed to have
vanished
Only graphics
in a black screen
with typed commands
like, " walk east "
and, " open window "
with no mouse
and no sound
wandering without
never having
been allowed...

Wonky Without Being Geeky

" Wonky Without Being Geeky "

by Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric

Performed on YouTube
as, " Listed on the Masthead "

Listed on the masthead
as a way of saying,
"Wonky" without being, "Geeky"
when wincing with resignation
and straining for effect
as pulpheaded grotesques
of indelible, "whatevers"
Obliquely evoking devotional
close-ups as full-throated disassociates mixing and mingling
fittingly with ragtag sensibilities
Planning and regretting
skimpy breakfasts
with confessions of heavy
drinking engulfed by tiger lilies
including scholars and security
guards doubling as snuffboxes
In entourages of juried art
as peasants toddle and frogs hop
in a windup clock of catharsis...

A More Compelling Entrance

" A More Compelling Entrance "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric

Performed on YouTube
as, " Doesn't Even Resemble "

Doesn't even resemble
a more compelling entrance
As psychedelics instead
of interactive anything elses
poking their heads
into cramped stairwells
suggesting the tendency
to fester throughout all the rest
As infrared emergences
at the other end of several
more compelling centuries
of spectrums of fear and depression
extending into morbid withdrawal
shrugging off after all
Almost all fragments
attached
topped by cut glass
supplanting exacting
dry brown grasses
As baleful
idiocies of man
with soul-cramping
abandon
Life-enhancing
crystalline masters
of spiritual catastrophes
as finicky small-scale
brain-scramblers
Coming to mind
as eerily quiet
nearbys on a highly-
refined long-time
otherwise...

All in the Name

" All in the Name "

by Suzán Jiván

Now and over to the next
fennel and garlic starting to soften
over medium heat thickening slightly
Estimated on Thursday
picking up the pace
with change in the making
as traces of persuasion
by lantern-faced fundraisers
with insatiable slavering fangs
as dopplegängers just days
away from the long-awaited
Closed for renovation
wafting from cafés
all in the name
of fire regulations
and reinstallations
of imagined space
with great anticipation
in an empty gray space
of bewildering states
of opiate intoxication
unmoored from self-
deprecating foundations
with waivers...

Minus the Wait

" Minus the Wait "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as " Inventive and Gifted "

Inventive and gifted
wanting to whip it up
as a hankering
for a masterpiece
of ingenuity
emerging bubbling
At a takeout window
after midnight
with an earthy aroma
and fruity flavor
on a cheese tray
baked with meringue
Now the meaty
flavors placed
in a plate
in an array
of basking flavors
of marinade
Turning occasionally
charred in places
then crumbled
with bacon
minus the wait
Winsomely bitter
in the tradition
of citrus-tinged
suspicion
somewhere
in the middle
Denser
and more
tannic
but attractive
aged
in new barrels
found
on the common
ground
of awakened
palates
balanced
with the silky
lush flavors
of flowers...

A Dollop on Top

" A Dollop on Top "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Disproportionate Pleasure "

Disproportionate pleasure
revealing a conspiratorial bent
at an ultra-high temperature
using left-over heat in a wrinkle
as perks living on in moussaka
Full stop in a competitive market
swamped with mini models
grumpy and hungary
when inducted into the just too big
Slammed through as just too cute
hand-rolled as mottled waffles
as most popular while sporting
a dollop on top...

With a Winning Score

" With a Winning Score "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Needs and Gets "

Needs and gets some connecting
some projected like pratfalls
of unfussy love cheering up,
" I tawt a taw a ting ta draw "
With a winning score
of the skinny sort
forfeited in autumn
sinking ball after ball
more and more
Mourning recognizable stories
while laughing along
but holding off guffaws
of happy-go-lucky unauthorized
designs for life held off to the side...

As an A.O.K.

" As an A.O.K. "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Performed on YouTube
as, " Trying to Retain "

Trying to retain
artifacts
of major outrage
as an A.O.K.
like a chance to play
along the way
while awakening
to incarnation
in legacies of pathos
Inducing
conscious-raising
in the face
of a surname
leisurely against
the speed and pace
of a digital age
Via older creative
affectations
in shipping containers
with something
of the flavor of fleeting
beauty mixed in
with world-weary cruelty
Consisting mainly
of unseen demons
in profane fables
with high-ranking
outsized
prosaic campaigns
of pervasive
persuasion and patronage
without complaint
Dwelling on the demise
of covert alliances
all in the mind
as a de-emphasized
run-and-hide
humankind
while doing time
Barely worth
mentioning
in first-name
notation
by the way
chilling, say
as estranged
roommates
drawing acclaim
while lying dying
with subtitles
of blurry lines...

Catching the Attention

" Catching the Attention "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric

Performed on YouTube
as, " Glancing Back "

Glancing back to an inter-
national collaboration
with one feeding on the other
determined to smother
cultural couplings winding up
unfulfilled with stinginess
A colleague insists
on poignant existence
shot as a shimmering
daily grind swelling
to a fame-obsessed
directionless, " Yelp "
Attesting to the premise
of hell-bent rejection
as street-cred skeptics
catching the attention
of no-good threats
rebelliously empty...

Outside the Ring

" Outside the Ring "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Admiring comments
inspiring and creepy
outside the ring
while peering
obsessively
into push-button realms
of relentlessness
as barbed endeavors
of the not-so-tender
All too familiar
compulsively shifting
between comic jigs
of stiff-upper-lips
and tongue-and-cheeks
by undergoing
mind-control
in starring roles
Most valuable
overtones
like comminglings
of stardom and firearms
in muddles of art
as post-Oscar
whispered as, " Ah "
with fragile charm
becoming jarring
as, " Ahhhh! " ...

Relatively Wise

" Relatively Wise "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Unanswerable
in advance
of physical
intimacy
curling up
without
incident
switching
between
fleeing
and
facing
ordeals
sturdy
then
frail
contingent
on circumstance
happening off camera
Preparing for a new recruit
from the acutely rural
whatever the mood
from solitude
to collusion
with the ingenuity
of a communal pseudonym
masking shallow shams
and romantic clamorings
with amorous arrogance
Lithe young bodies
with sinewy sinister
charisma candidly dabbling
with indeterminate spans
of antagonistic happiness
Intermittently chuckling
amid bickering as sequels
in a gag-reel commendably
free despite contrivances
with passers by
as relatively wise
but liable to lapse
into an anticlimax
of sheer madness...

Geeky-Glam

" Geeky-Glam "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

The bold resurgence
of stunning sultriness
As sumptuous luxury
with uncanny knacks
for the grand
geeky-glam
as luminaries
of masters
lit from within
Capturing a panorama
divided by horizon lines
gone tragically awry
more and more privately
underlying above right
Strikingly delicate
in private collections
by flashlight
a few weeks shy
of admirers on the fly
Like studies of juveniles
getting their due
relatively soon
mastering their fruits
A character study mostly
as maximum gross
overly clever
but none-the-less
already said
plagued
by the long-dead
paying attention
Both surprisingly
and heartbreakingly
through wordplay
with careful plannings
of, " Never Fails " ...

Special Status

" Special Status "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

The putative aura
of chunky forms
laminated
with plastic
as special status
stacked
like falling ladders
gleaming proudly
Torn and gouged
stained and splattered
after being
bent over backward
on monochromatic palettes
suggesting collapse
as less nostalgically
fragmented
latter-day maps
Scratched and ragged
no-nonsense stares
stoically exalted
grasped hand-over-hand
in all-over patterns
of top-ranked talent...

Noted

" Noted "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
and Eric...

It should be
noted
in a hand-
blown
tableaux
as serious
moments
as if you
didn't know
disclosed
in poetic
repose
now showing
out of focus
and all alone
Superbly airy
as a face-
framing
exaggeration
like a phalanx
of invigorating
fray
Highly artificial
filled with the glints
and contradictions
of the indivisible...

Action and Restraint

" Action and Restraint "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

One here, one there
as an adaptive wisecrack
to the classical decades past
sturm and drang
Like dating and romance
as an overbearing mish-mash
in the aftermath of a stage collapse
Recapitulated with improvisation
in an off-stage ballet choreographed
with the latent intimation
of action and restraint...

Once Ubiquitous

" Once Ubiquitous "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

It's just nostalgia
once ubiquitous
now limited
like human-
powered
watercraft
by watching
the horizon
then observing
what's left behind
while vibrating
with wakes
flag waving
in our eyes
and in our hair
as visceral cringes
on packing slips
sent up the road a bit
after pausing with thought
and making a corporeal
choice of assault
star-gazing
in a backyard parking lot
looking for migrant species
while remembering thinking
for the last time
this season with immediacy...

Magically Mind-Stretched

" Magically Mind-Stretched "

by Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ,
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Often shared
and experienced
as analytical thinking
mixed indistinguishably
with the ingenuity
of the day-to-day
surpassing
matter-of-factness
as magically
mind-stretched
beginnings
compressed
end-to-end
like a little
of the incredible
exceptionally
receptive and attentive
self-reflexive surrenderings
into hallucinogenic
loops of illusion
with considerable ambition
gently immersive
mercifully facing away
while memorizing names
dressed for the occasion
too heavily for lightweight...

The Scratchily Organic

" The Scratchily Organic "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Blending whimsy
with difficulty
while capturing
abilities
supplied by
the scratchily organic
and deadpan
tolerance
for eccentricity
with meta-physical
inklings
like the heavens
and the earth
beyond
all promise
in the melody
of a harp
often cosmic
small
and specific
like high-
pitched
non-fiction...

Early On

" Early On "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Pleasantly
removed
from
the hurly-
burly
with
long-held
shots
concealing
as much
as they reveal
deliberately
stripped
of drama
early on...

Laughter Soon Theteafter

" Laughter Soon Thereafter "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Surprisingly tolerable nonsense
marred by question marks
and sounds of dirty-word bombs
lobbed through bleachy-white teeth
while shrieking epiphanies
like wishful thinking rankled by bland
laughter soon thereafter...

Time-Lapse

" Time-Lapse "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Interspersing
obvious returns
to the world
whether or not
redemption is possible
in a conventional plot
of time-lapse shots...

Mask-Like Lifetimes

" Mask-Like Lifetimes "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Untitled
arranged by type
as mask-like lifetimes
coming back to life
mission style...

Like Planar Culminations

" Like Planar Culminations "

by Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ, Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric...

Signed and dated
with palpable
determination
repeatedly indicated
from body to face
animated as angular
softened by shading
like planar culminations...

Freshly Displayed

" Freshly Displayed "

by Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle
& Eric...

Remarkably
free
examining
something
of a
blessing
rather tentatively
freshly displayed
in a
hallway
as a
heyday
with a
penetrating
gaze...

Ribbons

" Ribbons "

by
Mom
& Mom-
Mom
Suzán

for
Rebecca
Russ
Kenny
Jimmy
Mark
Danielle
& Eric...

Not until
the tiniest
wee bit
of thrift
for the
quick-
witted
astound-
ingly
riven
with
the
un-
familial
shaved
into
ribbons
long
before
rot
sets
in...
