" Yields in Steps "
by Suzán Jiván
Yields in steps
under increased pressure
leaving huge questions
sensing skepticism
with nodding bobble heads
showing potential
at deeper levels
undoing benefits
in essence
curbing spending
upheld to the utmost extent
being withheld by tender
supplication
with more troupers
than mourners
in due course
often as performers
of eternal disappointments
then and before
as raw metaphors
perpetually kept on pause
blackballed
by the latest offerings
being stopped short
united in song
after gorging on hourlong
point and counterpoint...
