“ Doubling “ ...

“ Doubling “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Doubling down final scrambles
a failed bomb attached to a man
frantic calls to action

real and imagined battles
donning safety glasses
preventing splatter

tax-cut analysis
ravaged middle classes
unaffordable housing

buyer beware brain implants
contraceptives and glaring
cases of cancer

vast habitats
cut down and fragmented
at minimal and maximal decibels

all due to the quarrying
of a duck of a dinosaur
with a swan’s neck

still eavesdropping
on clicking dolphins
while monitoring
tigers in Sumatra

deciphering found
messages in bottles
with exceptional hardness

like tectonic plates jarring
metaphysical properties flaking apart
coalescing broken heaets
as phosphorescent particles...
