" Playing "...

Playing with complexities
of semi-autobiographies
It's tricky! like tailoring
salt-and-pepper long hair

new-fangled males and females
still trying to stabilize their craft
floating in mid air
as ambitious expansions
of sports spectaculars

for King Kongs for example
by exchanging banter
with golden-haired handmaidens
staring open-mouthed
on versions of long-playing albums

spinning at high capacity
zeroing in on class
as celebrities behave
badly in tall tales

tragically flashing back
into hatdscrabbled arrogance
stressing the fragile
and approaching collapse

whispering, "Why exactly?"
being left unanswered
seen trailing maladaptive
software packages...

" Forthcoming "...

" Forthcoming "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Forthcoming the fast
the flashy afterlives
"What's inside?"
"Perfect timing?"

rambling through highlights
as if you like rewriting sci-fi
via impinging insights recombined
by pressing, "re-wind"

blithely obliging surviving
daguerreotypes of mankind
as formalized allies with squinty eyes
messaging rates may apply

so why not give it a try?
affably chap like by design
the very idea of feeling cheery
distortion-free serendipities

being unleashed preserving sanity
alleviating anxiety crucially
factoring departing naturally
relative to canons of massively
expansive glitteriny galaxies...

" The Ultimate "...

" The Ultimate "..,

The ultimate buzz
media coverage
of blockbusters
while donning goggles
in the Galapagos

indicating increased blood flow
plus greater focus on fast-growing
info-loads for virtuosos on riverboats

like rightly sos swooning over no-nos
being left alone via effective bio-control
perceived as the utmost echolocation
emanating from bat homes
atop multiple glistening poles...

" As a Master "...

" As a Master "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

As a master
of comic style
churning ironies

"slim feasting smiles "
sinewy and lithe
doing " allthelikepluspiety"

becoming dismal and stuffy in size
and number tumbling triumphs
of culture almost lovingly
nonconforming to history

liberally practicing
the ecclesiastical
sacredness of marriage
via curious accountings

long since disbanded
knocking off hats
radical in color in connexion
with public attention

meanwhile electing
to finally decide the question
of all measures of contempt
later inevitable under duress

concerns felt packed during lectures
at lecterns again and again
less evident imposing expressions
of the ordinary self

marching in procession
towards assemblage
across trampled flower-beds
to immense effect...

" Lines of Action "...

" Lines of Action "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Lines of action attached to backgrounds
closely bound to the natural fecundity of animals
painted bison mammoths prehistoric man
relief carving demands exaggerated females

stone artifacts reindeer antlers
reconstituted plaster confused matters
disenchantment looking after inhabitants
sandstone pink granite dating back
to requirements of magic
for harmony between God and man

while deciphering tablets and stamps
with benevolent aspects absent
stigmas of mortality huge masses
artists' hands elegant objects acrobats
human scales mainlands ivory plaques

slightly redacted sun-dried hieratic styles
prototypes for afterlife instincts of violence
full-faced profiles harsh outlines
sedentary lives religious rites
endlessly realigned synthesized
darkness to light before our very eyes...

" Almost Exactly "...

" Almost Exactly " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Almost exactly standing comfortably clearly adjusting
flattening reliefs however experimentally
as stylistic novelty minus compulsory iconography
indulging freely in juggling antiquity as well springs
metamorphosing into imaginary beings embodying
third dimensionality heightened by classicizing serenity
linked to overall individuality as well as compositional themes
of monumentality juxtaposing vital ideology while unifying
gestures with universal expressions via lively polemics
of swarming formalistic forms adhering to walls
emerging from cloisters loftily vaulted floral forms
gargoyles spitting out water becoming adornments for support
rapidly transforming more human than divine elongated proportions
as sources of spiritually altering corporeal portals
as sources of spirituality altering corporeal portals
where poignancy is being perpetually restored...

" Sticks "...

" Sticks "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
In Honor of Florence Marie
In Memory of Anton James

Sticks as flimsy twigs seen at the cusp of spring
true-blue pigments on the edge of extinction
"It's here! You can smell it!" as primary suspects
for resurrection once and again without question

during "de-extinctification" efforts
far from new developments
passenger pigeons wooly mammoths
institutional grants for lost habitats

driven by dearths of data and not-so-empty nests
for fully fledged penguins gone hunting for themselves
in worldwide networks as viruses return and diseases emerge
like shorebirds with distinctive shrieks sequencing species
via whistling underwings and distinctive orbital rings

ducks and geese paddling quickly across shallow ponds
towards Himalayan snowcocks large and stocky
low clucking shrill cackling jungle fowl spectacular marsh
harriers fore-dawn bat hawks stilled waters herons stalking

gliding soaring pulling it off out walking
corny side burns being shaved off in dance halls pizzazz un-ignored
revisiting retooling rebooted art schools while making silent movies
for super-nerdy wasteland futures like murky stews in cartoons
with cell phones set on "mute" for super-human classical music
hectoring brass whistles and whip cracks as savvy trappings
for gaudy and grand skeletons prancing harp and piano thinning out...
