“Giving Our All-in-All”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Giving our all-in-all
like loose-limbed narratives
of doubtless champions
due for rebranding side-parted hair
tipping their hands
while picking motives out of a hat
challenging sleight-of-hand
as stagnant flashbacks with arid patches
in defacto aftermaths of supernatural
bafflements incapable of zapping
hapless anguish and unutterable tragedy
as shuttered cameras
mimic tongue-clacking crassness
luring fans of back-and-forth fantasy brands
avidly clamoring for charismatic
glamorous nostalgia
shifting barriers burning flags
leaking not-so-secret emails
derailing high-speed train links
via irregular diplomacy
and makeshift ropes’ bows and arrows
escaping on ladders stinging water cannons
fires tear gas emergency powers
zip-tied hands overturned face masks ...
