Tongue-in-Cheek Measured in Feats

"Tongue-in-Cheek Measured in Feats"

by Suzán Jiván

Gotten on
enough soapboxes
from grand to modest
and on and on
having gone
way too far
as a grande dame

while on the cusp of possibility
like tongue-in-cheek measured in feats
of captivity with limited experience
in idiosyncrasies coinciding uneasily
with the bottom line of domestic life...
