Like a Bequeathed Beauty Queen

" Like a Bequeathed Beauty Queen "

by Suzán Jiván

The perception of inevitability
permeated by the incapable
decimated by hard labor
bound for the stage
in an adaptation
of, " Hairspray "
with ease and imagination
like a bequeathed beauty queen
in a nation weary of the weird
being criticized widely
as glittery and incisive
in capering dance and brass
fanfares with advanced ticket sales
for the jaggedly handsome
and raggedly romantic
as slicked-backed shaggy
shaping the fragile played dazzlingly
culminating with a standing ovation
of harmonic celebration...
