“Last Call”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Last call for oxygen tents, for short
like playing, “The fall guy”
in an antsy non-rhyming disorder
kicking the can with salient
anagrams to boot with “fingers crossed”
spouting, “Waste not want not!”more or less
when refusing to answer questions directly
tipping into recession labeling the Fed
Chief, “The Enemy”going head-to-head
lacking fact-checked policy and records
new screenings being put into effect
as cats clean themselves “If I may interject”
a warm welcome elbow bumping nonetheless
toting notepaper that’s usually yellow
penning, “Messed up!” ...
