" The Ultimate " ...

" The Ultimate " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

The ultimate
science of forgetting
in a molecular level
show me one better
in the corner of my mind
not a sound from the pavement
of bootleg radios
like light snacks
and free wi-fi
in the offing
during streaming movies
as stiff cocktails
of technology
aka gadgetry
with less than a full tank
certainly innovational
like cranking modern days
getting priorities straight
same time same place
encouraging risk taking
via mega-data
in star shades of game changing
strictly by invitation
advocating dragon taming
being chastened
with gold plates
and no waiting
memories erased
via stained glass
window panes
perspectives changing
broadband enabling
web penetration
walk right this way matey
haters gonna hate
no blackout dates
remote computations
spam with bacon
given more leg room
for digesting raw data
as the next sensation
experience elevated
tool box upgrades
recollections arriving
never mind...

" Missteps"...

" Missteps "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzá

Missteps stalemates out of concern for races
with hopes fading in the wake of failed campaigns
unleashed nerve agents poor relations

anchored right-of-center by blurbs from the burbs
thousands purged failed coups leaving vacuums
in leading institutions bears and lions marooned
not going smoothly to new zoos like raging bulls

pounding in pink pumps for the newly liberal points of view
being addressed anew by drones of the future
zooming over what it means to be "human"
normally abused beneath a flower moon of the awful truth

damaged arch angels looking strangely into blank spaces
left for the violently detained of late blood-stained
suffocation without justification fruitless confluences
pooling illegally bullhorns screaming during the coldest weeks

competing acerbic insensitivities indescribable exciles arriving
rising right-wing parties of major industries minus rhyme and reason
incoherences fluttering like butterflies in the stomach so to speak
deemed "smart-alecky" refugees primed and ready
being forcibly expelled by poison pens...

" Prominent "...

" Prominent "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Prominent white eyebrows
seeing red unmarked
provenanced objects

inscriptions can be suspect
after firing upon arrival
creating lines with mineral oxides

brown from iron
copper from green
cobalt from blue
manganese purple
or blackish brown

slip-trailed dots
as scratched by potters
rouletted coggled

hand modeled
symbolizing
self-sacrifice
and piety via
floral designs
and paving tiles

clear-eyed
unblinkered
ideologies
bolstered
hierarchies

meticulously revealing
like adherents
with swaths of material
being mowed and reaped
as scythes and sickles
of embodied interests

spotted doves
heavier than mourning
broad white corners
of forceful songs...

" Handle Handle with Care"...

" Handle Handle with Care " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Handle with care don't you dare once more with feeling
in between the extremes comes the verdict half truths and real facts
conclusions notwithstanding ignoring the problematic
taking civil action seizing assets being released from the poison cabinet

competing editions banned doggedly tracked in twice-as-long passages
of totemic expansions singular paths only handfuls of circumstances
and all that jazz in short narratives sometime thereafter as propaganda

spoken wonderfully well like indifferent health well-intentioned
irregular interventions as better evidence in contention
with resulting digressions accusations against length and depth

generally accepted as time to protest while fighting lies with lies
in changing climates for saber-toothed tigers and fleeting wildlife
like dandelions and ragweed contracting disease

unable to distinguish the riff from the raff what's happening?
how much! what?! rummaging somehow suggesting catching
attention having hunches comin' a crumblin' while eyes get adjusted
to nothing but brain wave functions counted up in multiples
of just one priming the pump crying, "Uncle"...

" Awash "...

" Awash "  by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Awash particularly startling as tsunamis
all gone but not forgotten rock solid quaking faux pas
indomitably acknowledged via monstrously hard and crisp volumes

quite remarkably sent wildly teetering
yet clearly sighted from a great great distance
oscillating between minimal and massive walls of water

drafted and redrafted within lengthening illuminated manuscripts
while preserving the anonymity and peculiarities of nonfictional characters
with much head scratching being paraphrased candidly

as definite answers serving like excuses for failure from elsewhere
riddlingly graspable non-nonsense clarifications
at low tide high tide neat tide tidy in it's place neat

binders without boundaries being kept in briefs
within atmospheres of wavering expediency
inequalities narrowing wholly and manually

coming no closer to understandings
being read as water-marked letters
stored within the dressers of long-lost relatives...

" Airlifted Footprints "...

" Airlifted Footprints "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Airlifted footprints pulling strings of incidences
drawing deep involvements happening as shifts
of acronyms in military decisions fighting to "win"
not waiting for permission speaking specifically
of gassed civilian victims due to incongruous doctrines
as innocuous calls to arms via flipping policies
of brazen and bizarre gridlock for the dearly departed
solaces broken apart bereft of arguments upended democracies
not dead yet unable to raise objections to malicious agendas
pre-and-post election labeled "terrorists" as good news for elephants
well ahead of presidents' certain contentions left unmentioned
losing members as euphemisms for killing them
evoking invincibility by leaders yielding unwieldy impunity
deemed well-meaning shock therapy treatments
jittery mental digressions as points of reference
for viciousness in hotbeds minus consequence
What's next? Sticking out our necks?

" Critical " ...

" Critical " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Critical questions racing through texts players and events inflated senses of selves
thick-headed fairy realms valued aspects music stretches bare-chested successes
" 1966 and all that " like letters to the editor involving enmity and feuding Vol. II
with long views of short histories new moralities in lengthy essays in the company
of strangers viewing nature spaces and traces merely condensed by experiment surging ahead
unexpressedly and inexpensivel in brief for soul self and society issued with stiff upper lips
given mythical significance by natural history pivotingly clingy short-listed captions
for reluctant travelers being granted bail in fragments from barriers strengthening sterling
metaphorically tipping doughty gladiators in tantalizing landslides while wiggling out
within think tanks having had the significance extracted by conceptual straight jackets
after taking the stand with avarice and madnesses most striking aspects giving airs
initiating civil cases sitting and waiting in vain via phasing roll call taken across decades
for scapegoats popping bottles of champagne for the age-old occasion all for the cause
of "one-for-all-and-all-for-one: what's this one for?" incidental garnishes? undeniable
ominous aesthetic spectacles trying to find themselves as a requirement of curiosity
"Curiosity killed a cat satisfaction brought him back" as valid without a doubt
It's all talk It's just talk yackity-yack don't talk back as forthcoming manuscripts
vulgar tasteless inaccurate busily unpacking left zealously at large by calls to arms
in street cars named "Desire" like integral ideas subtitled, "Swinging" over "Absurdity"
balking cork-screwing circuitous routes processes to disprove according to moods
versus points of view ninety-degree hypotenuse equilateral algebraic calculations
based on broad generalities reputed to be eager fans of making tracks in broadbands
that can't fail like pastoral matters of "What's happening and how!" as a sell out to,
"I've got the power!" everlast under armor branding playing their part throwing darts
in fits and starts potentials for reality series for gazetteers during nosebleeds
in various schemes with red hankies waving over fields of glory made manifest
 by presented evidence unlike dilemmas being re-remembered more than anything else
like how to pack for career advancement in high fashion while watching industries
gathering in a souped-up vintage cars snickering from the back seat wearing clown wigs
displayed on screens depicted as, "mean" " no worries " showing no fear donning scrunchies
pronounced "High Design" as opposed to big bows barely wiggling during plug-and-play
video games mutating "Don't let hate get in the way!" on windy days half empty bottles of rosé
over generations community based without great expectations for promotions or raises
wait-your-turn resonations turning page-after-page spurring changes seated at fold-up tables
along runways of celebration in the back of a checkered cab, "She's got baggage!" at high angles
of "not exactly" stripped of happiness placed in a madhouse by insurgent masses
left unchallenged and unembarrassed after entering into contact and feeling mishandled
being humored like a fractious child pockets bulging out in theory and practice
as mourners stifle their laughter long suffering staffs likened to pig tails bellowing in agony
from the outset pushed over the edge medics coming into question in retrospect
struck  by ill health not ending well paying last respects...

" Fast Trackers "...

" Fast Trackers "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Fast trackers "Where you sit is where you stand"
after discovering your past fraught with misunderstandings
due to money matters pulling on trousers
repeatedly read out presenting demands to be called, "Jack"

well beyond the pale as double-standard tactics
on small patches of the frantically fanatical
directly demographic scarce finances
starting from scratch statistically de facto

direct action by all counts post collapse
as foretold by staffers already felt squarely tracking data
around white houses heading down garden paths
of propaganda taking no chances holding the whip hand

saving powder for future take downs
as the crazily powerful becoming all-too-willing to mouth
unmatched disasters being called out this time around
by outsized missile firings circling the wagons
of non-redeeming factors by victims of collateral damage
losing backing via battle-damaged hardened hangers
containing enigmatic backlashes of spent capital
still ailing from total lacks of understandings...

" Groundbreaking "...

" Groundbreaking "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Groundbreaking
sparking adaptation
ducking grim fate
gracefully
which is to say
interpolated
and up to date
conscientiously brave
by invitation
as an impersonator
needing to make
a statement
with notched shapes
on the brain
opposed to waning
glowing coals
in fireplaces
newly ignited
stepping lively
stretching over miles
for the very first time
burning brightly
bringing owls into the light
anthropomorphized eyes
amplified mini-satellites
little fish big bites
large lower canines
"Mine mine all mine!"
sited food supplies
simulated environs
thriving microbes
fired projectiles
tow lines rising red tides...

" Lifelines " ...

" Lifelines "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Lifelines
during widening
drone strikes
minus the hype
of mass suicide
while getting high
on human cries
beneath deepening
night skies
spouting catastrophe-
inspired feverish
one-liners
flasin ' unclassified
sunshine
against "Evil Empires"
living unbalanced lives
at the levels
of class or even phylum
from sub-lethal
dinosaur times
while ravens cry
for survival
white-blotched
black Y's in the sky
boggling the mind
for seven minutes
precisely
bivalves left and right
in two main types
looking faintly plant-like
at the dawn
of multi-cellular life
almost blind
evenly flying
stealthily on a wing
at high speed...
