“ Moving People “ ...

” Moving People “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Moving people embracing history
troubling material
the old has become new again

having hit delete abhorrent
intolerable unlawful hostile
policy document drops
as cocktail-party fodder

rocking it hard at the start
of harsh question marks
for subpar blockbusters

deemed, “Odd Big-Tap Dramas”
starred with stripes of rhubarb
on top of smoky kebabs

like posterity’s promise
at a comeback wet bar
for starker abstract artists...

“Contemplating Conversations” ...

” Contemplating Conversations “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Contemplating conversations
via wallflower paintings
in deep appreciation
for “The Latest Collaboration”

not so much an accusation
as an observation
of  “The Latest Outrage”
unrelayed
going off “Half-Baked”
and left unexplained

feeling estranged
having once relied
on excruciating
provocations

now dealing in outrage
while faking makeovers
in order to release homemade
anger and frustrations

filled with weak
recommendations
being elaborately staged
but stationed far away
in mock celebration
overtly proclaiming,
“I’m Having
a Tough Tough Day!”...

“ Running with Mind-Boggling Confidence “ ...

” Running with Mind-
Boggling Confidence “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Running
with mind-boggling
confidence
while “joggling”
promises for control
of Congress

whittling democracy
into a common
denominator
each passing day

inappropriately
humiliating
making allegations
before high-level
delegations

deadlocking
on trade
approved
to prevent
migraines
despite concerns
about torture
allegations
as a game changer

“No profit,  no problem -
good-bying into ‘The Hereafter’
via dystopian classics”...

“ The Strictest Secrecy “...

“ The Strictest Secrecy “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

The strictest secrecy
via deep-rooted inquiries
a year ago Thursday
coded, “ Crossfire Hurricane”

dwarfed in size
by deceit and denial
left unscrutinized

heavy rain tonight
due to abuse and crisis
gender-highlighted
harassment hotlines

levying hefty fines
having crossed
multiple redlines

predators claiming otherwise
driving lopsided fertility declines
not knowing, “Why?”

attempting to find
daylight @ twilight
versus sunrise...

“ A Mix “ ...

” A Mix “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A mix
of sorrow
and support
all according
and without warning

evoking
passports
scrambling
across portals
causing months
of warming

echoing wars along
contested borders
casualty reports captured
in short stories observing
simply, “WHAT A DAY!”...

“ Caught in the Act “ ...

“ Caught in the Act “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Caught in the act
unpracticed unprepared
not even planned

being written at random
collaborative calligraphic
English/Arabic characters

scripted as if by accident
impromptu plots and dialogue
having donned serendipitous costumes
on untargetted extemporaneous blogs

launched by incongruous possibilities
fortuitously flashing, “PEACE”
ostensibly via aging fleets...
