“Stripped Back”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Stripped back
by a lack of traction
by so-so candidates
suspended
immaculately in mid air
with bursts
of miscast wails
from pummeled brands
after coming
out of baffling nowheres
contesting ebb-and-flow
rebellions
filled with lapsing creds
of booby-trapped bombshells
donning prosthetics
baring backpacks
of ball-bearing shrapnel
as morality tales
told out of the grasp
of blown-back matter of facts
going by new names
via the nomenclature
of finger puppets and paper trains
like artists as curators
looking hippy-dippy happy today ...
