Interactive Battlefield

" Interactive Battlefield "

by Suzán Jiván

Thinking and picturing
simply unpacking
in an interactive battlefield
of discordant law enforcement
with shortness of breath
emphatically panting
after dismantling cold hard cash.

In Fact

" In Fact "

by Suzán Jiván

Had been redacted
as examples in fact
of criminal acts
of overturned bans
of wholly inadequate
and vastly unplanned
interactive casts
with smartphone apps.

Run It, Break It, Fix It

" Run It, Break It, Fix It "

by Suzán Jiván

Not inclined to haggle
over safety practices
" Run it, break it, fix it "
without a single
lost-time incident
with ever-creasing
contentious texts
for a scaled-down
market share
being
greatly out-
weighed
by escalating
failsafes.

Impressions and Directions

" Impressions and Directions "

by Suzán Jiván

Things not said
overstuffed
schedules
plus
potential
for many-
tentacled
directions
with prickly
impressions
as reasons
for circling.

Scene Days Later

" Scene Days Later "

by Suzán Jiván

Top lots
touchy
feely
leafy
gilded
mahogany
sleuthing
around
fanning
out
seemingly
wise
like
a
radiant
eye
in
a
triangle
seen
days
later
removing
adhesive
tape
from
a
landscape.

Few Choices

" Few Choices "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

With sketchpads and guns
on a glorious summer's morn
roaring with few choices
pointedly remorseless
taught to retort
to the invisible
yet ubiquitous.

Bonfires

" Bonfires "

by Suzán Jiván

Where and when
second-guessed
rendered events
age-old questions
eyes and minds
stepping aside
clearer and brighter
at times passing by
bonfires and razor wire.

Empty Shells

" Empty Shells "

by Suzán Jiván

Its leaking well
a domino effect
heavily hedged
empty shells
hemorrhaging
threatening
all else
as a stark
lesson
of excess.

Far-Reaching

" Far-Reaching "

by Suzán Jiván

A stopgap
pulling back
keeping
an eye out
for fingering
a split pea
as ethics
breach
far-reaching
secrets
of disease
and toxicology
while looking
perfectly sloppy
nonchalant
and dreaming
modestly.

Into the Next

" Into the Next "

by Suzán Jiván

One interlude
shoots
quickly
into the next
as sensual
remembrances
conjure
force fields
and fireballs
all along
orgasmic
coursings.

Memories of Green

" Memories of Green "

by Suzán Jiván

An outbreak
priced out
but slowly
regathering
and still
remastering
cramming
for the super-
natural exam
of wackiness
in a self-parody
filled with the some-
times-dyed grinding
mediocrity of orange
muchies with memories
of green.

Empirically Speaking

" Empirically Speaking "

by Suzán Jiván

For the first time, a saga
toward the bizarre
empirically speaking
weak to weak
increasingly seeking
to demonize serpentine
and thereby
defrock a state rock.

A Clumsy Funk

" A Clumsy Funk "

by Suzán Jiván

Always one-
upping
at first
blush
culled
from
a flurry
of stunning
love up-
ended
by a clumsy
funk
all
of
a
sudden.

A Fragile Peace

" A Fragile Peace "

by Suzán Jiván

Back to the birthplace
bringing a fragile peace
of conscripted intimacy
moving quickly
into antipathy
rehashing history
drinking heavily
while making
a bounteous play
with restrained
resignation.

The Beast Within

" The Beast Within "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Seeing and playing
with a new piece
of hardly surprising
and wildly popular
archives of highly-
compressed every-
day life in a lithesome
spiral while roiling silently.

All Along

" All Along "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Six-tiered
trained
volunteers
often naked
hold court
all along
an audacious
chaulkboard
of cheeky
mythologies
in dark pop.

A Deep Driller

" A Deep Driller "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

A deep driller
in dizzying 3D
creeping up
capping risk
cementing
boasts
of fast growth
while running
afoul of pared down.

Subconscious Fuse Box

" Subconscious Fuse Box "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

A better under-
standing of self-
awareness
ramping up
an anatomically
calm sub-
conscious
fuse box
with the emphatic
capacity to track
elaborate patterns
of comparative
panic attacks.

Today's Episode (7-6-2010)

Today's Episode of "The Artist
and Her Progeny" begins
with "The Artist" feeling dismay
after reading the front page
of Today's Newspaper...

" Little But One Another "

by Suzán Jiván

for My Grandson, Kenny Tepper,
who loves to imagine scary tales.

Little but one another
in a core of passing along
a tear-down report
reducing costs overall
by trying to strike the tiny bull's eye
of a vicious cataclysmic fullfillment
with a concocted preposterous.

Leapfrogging

" Leapfrogging "

by Suzán Jiván aka
Eric's Mom-Mom Suzán

for Eric Daniel Stopek

Leapfrogging
to victory
somersaulting
across a lush
green lawn
fending off
returning
to a former
form
while grunting
and twisting
end over end
in a header
of parental
affection.

Shoehorned Wars

" Shoehorned Wars "

by Suzán Jiván

for Linda Erlich, PhD

I was weeping too
eschewing the pursuit
of reducing mutual truth
into abhorrent shoehorned wars
cramming the appalling norms
of a Wild West bar brawl
into international law.

Hard-bitten Flinty Cinema

" Hard-bitten Flinty Cinema "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Front running
along a thin
story line
in a tight
race of runaway
favorites scheduled
for someday
in a warm embrace
with haste
plonked into scholarly
emailboxes
where the real
trouble starts
in hard-bitten
flinty cinema
with evocative shots.

Recasting a Champion

" Recasting a Champion "

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Racing forward
spurting growth
giving notice
recasting
a champion
revamping
the rallying
cry, " Well Timed! "
with the likeness
of unspooling
psychedelic rhymes.

Fitting In, Falling Back

"Fitting In, Falling Back"

by Suzán Jiván

for Ishamarr Swan

Following precedent
deflecting questions
with extraordinary efforts
fitting in, falling back
while hinting at balance
along with the intrinsically
flawed overhauls of pitfalls.

In Disarray

" In Disarray "

by Suzán Jiván

for The Minds of Politicians

Stumping in sludge
coming of age
in disarray
state to state
while trying to place
skimmers into position
in the minds of politicians
along with the giant ink
blots of incompetence.
