"It's Not Over!"...

"It's Not Over!"

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán 

It's not over
arms flailing
hair aswirl

wind stirring
hits and misses
gathering our wits
trouble is
steep medical bills

packing lots of harm
in response to promising
props of doctors
like constant health problems
taken up a notch

all the balm
becalmingly
chronicled
by artists
having
to take up
boxing
gloves on...

"Now, That's More Like It!"...

" Now, That's More Like It! "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Now, that's more like it!
gloating dreamlike
as subconscious beings
with admirable efficiency

often bizarrely frolicking
through an oculus
into darkness via a compass
"Hey, why not?!"

hemmed ludicrously high
glammed up and fetishized
dipped in nickel one might wish

seemingly dissimilar
rigorously exhibited
floor-to-ceiling...

" Less Far-Fetched "...

" Less Far-Fetched "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Less far-fetched
to startling effect
drawn from tarot decks
as orders of events
picked out of sequence

becoming subject
to the consequences
of not knowing
how or when

flanking glassy inlets
sauntering beneath
tree-canopied streets
from oddball to creep

not in the least preachy
while vanquishing the nasty
and favoring the ramblingly scary
yet feeling fairly
uncertain where to land...

"Faster & Faster"...

" Faster & Faster "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Faster
& faster
digital
traffic

taking
advantage
of award-
crammed
fan mail

becoming
increasingly
available

moving
too
fast

after
outlasting
pacing about

dancing past
fragments
of architectonic trash

against
solid slabs
of strands
of bandwidth

precisely
mirrored
rarely
glimpsed

spattered
trans-Atlantic
crystals
of non-stop
differences

softly lit
lofty thoughts
as heard
underwater

by totally
absorbed
hoity-
toity
sorts...
