Solos as the Focus

" Solos as the Focus "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " If You Missed
the Grand Gala "

If you missed
the grand gala
while trying
to catch up
to the bare
necessities
whizzy
by at high
speed
past
master-
pieces
against
flickering
screens
with scenes
of catastrophes
in smoking ruins
of black bamboo
as a cartoonist
of the vernal
and foolish
with the satiric
draftsmanship
of a non-
traditionalist
engendering
a kaleidoscopic
agenda
of a former
director
of, " Let's
Get it Together! "
In new digs
going, "Pfffft!"
after waking up
on sleepy streets
without rhyme
or reason
in makeshift
seats of shearling
devoted to regal days
during navigations
through space
with solos as the focus
in calibrated poses
with hocus-pocus
as ways to escape
the fast-paced
by snaking
across baggage-
ladened stages...
