“When Word Leaked”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

When word leaked
into the “clearly needed”
original ideas
as the funneling of screens
into the “pretty clear”

remaining to be seen
season by season
like showy accessories
branded, “Pretty Please”

still promising
to keep secrets
“Wink Wink”
indulging in cold
carnival treats
without a partner

calling, “Let’s party!”
ensconced
in classic hot rods
resolving,
“You don’t always
get what you want”

followed by,
“What’s the problem?”
concluding,
“No problem!”
after arguing,
“You don’t know squat!” ...
