“An Overhaul”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

An overhaul of windfalls
due to tax law avoidance
hidden in obscured
financial reports
anointed with oil
all over public shortfalls
banning reporters
breaking from norms
turning to opioids
after closing auto plants
tracking death data
as risk factors
rippling outward
while blades whir
in the background
with navigational imbalances
warnings confounded
deemed, “Way our there!”
like cosmic bragging
via black holes
and the Big Bang
revealed by light-gathering
mirror diameters
facing up-hill price-tag battles
for the, “Thin-heir Apparent”
as flapping birds vanish
in a flash due to lost habitat ...
