“A Nose-in-the-Air Sort”

 “A Nose-in-the-Air Sort”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

A nose-in-the-air sort 

snooty cocky uppity

biggity snotty la-di-da

puffed up smug stuck up 

silver-tongued …

“Near”

 “Near”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán 

Near and far far and near

not nearly close to being

inexactly to a degree

roughly abutting touching up

in the offing of buddy-buddy

or maybe even palsy-walsy…
