Hair-Tossing Affairs

" Hair-Tossing Affairs "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Might Be a Prequel "

Might be a prequel
to an apocalypse
as a blockbuster
based on comics
that couldn't stop
as slaphappy
rap sheets
of noncombatants
Bullying and belittling
careless
hair-tossing affairs
where nastiness
becomes tedious
in stunning scenery
suddenly obsolete
like a bolted man of steel
fraught by leaf peepers
In the lead, most eagerly
recklessly teachable
convincingly pliable
sometimes
like slender prisms
of insignificant nickel
in continuous equivalents
added as fragments
in mass
of rarely attractive
equally fine examples
of the rare
pyramidal crystal
violet and brittle
As a calamitous
as a steady hand
with death-defying daring
and the over-amplification
of a broad tail
for catching insects
in the air...
