Just Happening to Be

" Just Happening to Be "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Straight into the Heart "

Straight into the heart
of rhapsodic rarities
with shades of irony
just happening to be
endearing as salutes
to the promises
of live music
previously recorded
As specially
commissioned duets
testing how pleasure
is expressed
under the pressure
of poor health
Feeling as tense
as hair metal
with strong effects
on eventual gait
and direction
rooted in sequestered
gestures bereft
of intelligence
In an uncanny blend
of jokes and jitters
in homage
to the marginally
ripped upper body
voicing a paranormal
screech
with prosthetic teeth...
