“ Bowled Over “ ...

” Bowled Over “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Bowled over
traversing
tough rows to hoe
“Look Out Below!”

hearing honking
saxophones
during eye-popping
gossip name-dropping
automatons of tomorrow

stay-at-home moms
cuddling toddlers
mimicking avatars
of  “Believe It or Not”

as neat denouements
minus argument
superlative ensembles
“The show must go on!”

preparing calmly
for a breakneck drama
after getting a late start
with little bravado

commanding yin-yang
macro micro ogling superstars
uncovering the indomitable
going on wantonly

acclaiming prophets
with great pomp
as points of departure
metaphorically
split consciousness

heard constantly prodding
cruxes of problems
yet left unresolved
via indistinguishable remarks
while whispering constantly...
