“Outweighing”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Outweighing overwhelming
reimagining anti-gravity
due to inaction tearing down veils
after stiff night caps of fraud and fantasy
seizing the Capitol plotting kidnapping
taking hostages with a wink and a nod
upon donning body armor ...
“Risks”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Risks of convicting the departing
far from ideal facing up to history
whipping up swearing in stepping down
underpinning the unfactual manically clapping
passing massive rescue passages ...
“Disqualified”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Disqualified
inciting violence
egging on mobs
calling the National Guard
armed with hand-held wands
as a novice in Congress carries a Glock
for performance art to crash the Grand Old Party...
“Startled”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Startled
peering into deepening darkness
staring into a hidden distance
inexplicably steeped
in traumatic imbalance
breakfront cabinets stacked
with fragile bric-a-brac
and gimcrack whim-whams ...
“Full Camouflage SWAT”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Full camouflage SWAT spillover fallout
shields riot gear statehouses in lockdown
heightening security storming buildings
in the middle of a deadly viral winter
pistols on hips aiming at anarchy
unmasking a super spreading unreality ...
“A Dizzying List”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
A dizzying list of unthinkables
Capitol buildings breached
piercing dog whistling
pernicious Tweeting
by “people who look like me”
amassing in beastly rallies deemed, “pretty hairy”
no clear plan for combating
noxious gas and makeshift madness
riveting panickedly failing chains of command ...
“Fresh Stitches — Viral Tweet Threads”
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Fresh stitches on heads of hellbent menaces
storm tossed together into a deadly insurrection
yet being felt as personal empowerment
name-checking sworn enemies as “Fellow Americans”
flirting with aggression donning Kevlar vests
and helmets woven with viral Tweet threads...
