“Barring the Unforeseen”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Barring the unforeseen
through snacks and sparring
switching parties claiming to be,
“Beating everybody by a lot!”
bearing, “Letters of Scarlet”
choosing to withhold articles
as the Silicon ultra-rich
fizzle into, “rich-ish”
antitrust officials
pulling strings
after over sleeping
in luxury suites
underneath
blond braided wigs
offering galling indignity
becoming accustomed
to milking cities
of far-flung loyalties
savoring pre-game beers
lining up to punt
rising and thundering,
“Block it! Block it!” ...
