As Far As Anyone

" As Far As Anyone "

by Suzán Jiván

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

In any row or column
as far as anyone
could tell
participatory
and otherwise
seeming to fit
into the criteria
as the opposition
backing the pact
as less plastic
and more trans-
parent
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...
