“ Stirring “ ...

” Stirring “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Stirring discord
breaching protocol
rattled and distracted
yet still intact

facing challenges
defending actions
handling scandals
by swimming laps
on a kiddie placement

seeking animated reality
but feeling short on facts
and big in physicality
and personality

combatting
foot dragging
from the past
by composing
romance novels

both sloppily
and beautifully
for problem solvers
of guerrilla artists
of days long gone

swimming into the near-present
unflinchingly introspective
feeling prone to repeating ourselves

picturesquely short of breath
teeth clenched effervescent
swatch selectiveness for go-getters

like predecessors
outside of ourselves
upon making overt references
to gaps in our categorical elsewheres...
