“ Braving the Thundersnow”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Braving the thundersnow
secretly
obtaining restraining orders
top secret, “Hush! Hush!”
relying on a gutsy mass exodus
upon doubling in numbers
sweeping steel and aluminum
by the end of the week
avoiding further scrutiny
experiencing sinking fears
for well over a year
exhibiting a coiffed flat top
gregarious grin and rotund waist
for peace delegates dying while waiting
after repeatedly being turned away
having been accused of rape
discrediting the complainant
as a “two-bit player” deemed an “unfair trader”
still attempting to handle new-found fame
mimicking “The Death of The Creator”
a la chip makers as yesterday’s news today
propaganda bot infiltration
stealing names of complete strangers
ranging from tech elites
becoming fascinated with the hideaways
of confounded former generations
setting window shades in motion
closing throughout total home makeovers
making powerful private statements
echoing, “ Up Up and Away “ ...
