Going off script
taking a single swing
guided by instinct
with feet that whisper
rather than squeak
with the histrionic
bristling of being hit
by the whizzing cerebral
as a strapping actor
insidiously fingering
the externalization
of the internal.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
Cutie-pie whimsy
lanky, low-key
spidery stick figures
twitching awkwardly
staggeringly hands off
in the almost-too-orderly
stark imagery
of still trying
to fit in.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
Down-to-earth
spare and alien
in every detail
with little fanfare
tucked under
a coverlet
posing
as a supposed
celebrity
acting out
a suitably-
stringent
strategy
using agreeably
low-key techniques.

The stated desire
to celebrate nyuk nyuks
wiggling fingers
beneath chins
into intimate crevices
left breathless
when dismantled
then reassembled
through a peephole
in a tableau
below the elbow.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
With painstaking
eye-glazing debate
explained at great lengths
as nearly the same
gimmicky embracement
of an intimate jazz riff
gigged in the far distance
listened to digitally.

Well within
living memory
still
at a distance
honing in
to bringing
down the house
in a farewell
for now.

Increasingly large
but little understood
yet better-than-expected
overextensions
of a long-term trend
set at a loping pace
overloaded
when making the most
of a given moment.

for Stanislaus Dubowski
Ultralucid
mutedly
naive-looking
continuity
pointedly
repeated
in a long
singing phrase
from some kind
of sustained
hand-in-hand
daisy chain
at pains
to make
rationale
irksomely
opaque
by pontificating
from his or her
own daïs
of self-
revelation.

Performing stand-up routines
emphasizing the oddness
of doing a job requiring following
the same script day in and day out
played out among the marble
columns and red carpet
of an almost-undetectable
residence under close inspection.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
Less perilously than intitially imagined
with the conspicuous lack of winking
and pinpoint simplicity
of nailing big decisions
in a becomingly-staged remake
featuring sparse scenery
saccharine sweetness
and the gee-whiz glee
of divine absurdity.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
Bobbing in an incalculable wake
made from taking neither the credit
nor the blame for the essentially
unchanged while endlessly
contemplating making
an imperceptibly piquant step
toward the immeasurably
commensurate none-too-welcoming.

for Stanislaus Dubowski
Vetting tips and threats
stirring up suspicion
as the head of an oppulent squad
matter-of-factly flashing
a mischievous grin
from the veranda of a villa
famously savoring la dolce vita
and sharing a gift
for the exceedingly sniffy
rubbing fingers
together as if pinching.

Attempting everything
from the tango to the hustle
prodigiously amassing
earthshattering taps.

Touchy-feely play-acting wisecracking about a crackdown as an artifact
of an outlandish captivity
in false celebrity.

for Stanislaus Dubowski
Whole stretches of breathlessness
effectively bringing out a trenchantly
hectic intimidating tempo reining in
the hyperkinetic pace of a trail-blazing
race favoring bundles of stop motion
along a bumpy road with fortissimo.
by Suzán Jiván
for Stanislaus Dubowski
Countless hours
with just a few props and no-nonsense
chesty intensity ascending into falsetto
half-voiced with intentional breathiness
at the beginning and at the end
in a gargantuan mechanical set
filled with mandatory laudatory torrents
of high-pitched intricate whistling
masterfully performed
through long, thin fingers.

Geographically speaking
amorous sounding
maleable stop-action protagonists
pliably mime spritely delights

Close up, stripped down
speaking up, talking down
as often as not
with lots in common
sinking in, drifting off
still mindful of bygone by-lines.

Viewed in tandem
new and daring
seen as grand and steep
to the degree of delirium
increasingly feeling steered
by a velvetly-petaled
flowerhead's scent.

Captured by savvy
narrations parlaying
reputations still straining
to remain innovative
with harder to situate
decimated savings
being suffocated
by catchphrases.

Stubborn yet falsely
proving elusive as rumors
trapped in the stem cell state
including all known agents
in fixed-wings baring rising
friction despite the risks

In a vitual world
of apocalyptic what-ifs
infiltrating video-
taped takedowns
via remote-controlled
nano cameras
mounted on custom
muzzleloading guns
spewing super-cool
spot-on modern
pods of buckshot.

Tacitly signaling
coalescing around stashes
of Coke Zero cans
hardly hidden away
in law makers'
personal refridgerators
plugged into revenue-neutral
dim Capitol Hills
amped with the revamping
of scarce healthcare.

Drawing prolonged ovations
by instinctively playing
with creative experimentation
and successfully duplicating
the fluttering whistling wings
of a mournfully-calling mate
poignantly launching into morning.

Resorting to kitsch
literalism building
up indifference
and diminishing
receptivity riddled
with gimmick-
ridden slapstick
in tick-tock rifts
with arrestive
contrapuntal
linchpins.

Having begun at dusk
under a melting sun
with robotic jerks
and stiff juxtapositions
mixed with salient encryptions
all made visible by a waxing gibbous.

The long, hard slog
across the well-trodden
field of taxonomy
with oddities marred
by up-in-arms
controversies
still unsullied
by the unsung
depictions of
newly-discovered
genuses from
beetle hunting
with unction
and full flourishes
of wildflower study
ultimately succumbing
to noxious nonames
pervasively traipsing
across desiccated
binomial remains.

Among the cleverest
splitting of the difference
unapologetically filtered
through previously-
eschewed divergent views
churning with admitted fragility
then served as a Twistee Treat.

Constantly on a swivel
forced to nip
mischievous myths
with feral gifts
and big-clap hugs
after suffering
from more bunts
than others
triggered
by slow pitches
with little spins.

Underlying hardwiring
insighting can't-miss entreaties
to disentangle reimaginings
of previously unreleased upbeat
portrayals of reunification
taking place in a gaping hiatus.

With stylish robustness
and emotional depth
staged with efferves-

smack in the middle
of whipsaw wisdom
with firecracker action.

Mostly addressed in antiquity
with spousal dénouements
and elegant epilogues
as opposed to erroneous laments
spoken beside sterile deathbeds
heard in demented temples
plagued by medicalized ends.

Nearly whispered wrenchingly delicate
yet ebullient callowness seeking
the unusual and strange attraction-
repulsion dynamic of still limping
from grievous injury while scuttling
and cavorting with idiopathic choruses
of newly-formed dashing mere mortals.

Muscularly rendered art-world anthropology worth pondering
looming large in red-orange

endowed with populist

All lined up
in high-flying
evening light
bedazzlingly flaring
down the shore
and up the mountains
elegantly scattering
semi-abstract
airy masses
into attention grabbing
lavishly choreographed
astral recasts.

Taking dizzying liberties
after passively sitting
atop a missive slag heap
attempting to speak succinctly
while bridging titular enigmas
with coalescing kitsch
amid the critical
part of a triple-
rhythmed slip jig.

Planning to withstand
wear and tear
freely self-seeding
straight out
into the street
going from preemies
quickly needing
to be picked
knowing what "bolting"
actually means
after experiencing
sweltering heat
feeling better
off digging out
weeds in the cool
of the evening.

Never really
spelling out
the letter
of the law

Often awash in solace
but given to guardedness
after a jackhammer's blast
scatters paved paths
into the distant past
pneumatically dispatching
rueful ballads intoning
spring-loaded drones.

Leaping into the breach
with multiple premieres
of blogs with illimitable lyrics
conjuring themes of cohesion
seeping through fissile chinks
as seen during errant sleep.

An onslaught of figures
with touches of grit
beginning in forbidding grimness
followed by horrid darkness
then gloriously dawning
in the vestigal froth
of a mournful vortex
underscored by a regenerative core
of epically-stenciled small bores.

Stepping onto the blocks
for the cockeyed encore
of a positively-charged
shimmying and rattling crowd
responding without
a reasonable doubt
to the propitious rhythm
of " Hey Diddle Diddle ".

A sort of mercurial
semblance of order
seeing just what was
before us while pausingly
playing a game
of wait and see
in a plain-as-day
abstracted S-shape
perpetuated by sameness.

Nearly dialogue free
while blushing and preening
during the omitted scene
of a revisionist's visage
reflected by his exhumed
pseudonym being exuded
throughout his posthumous
down-and-dirty directoral debut.

In the opening shot
of hardened prospects
failing to start
with less than
the sum of their parts
in nourish psychodramas
bereft of heady innocents
mockingly swapping
preposterous compliments.
by Suzán Jiván

Unflinchingly
seeking relief
no one lives
like this within
a second fiction
seemingly oblivious
to the initial nonfiction
with the blunt repercussions
from the brutal lingerings of grief.
