A Rippling Solo

" A Rippling Solo "

by Suzán Jiván

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...
