“ Ceding “ ...

” Ceding “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Ceding assets as shareholders get the cash
and Mercedes-Benz sedans fiascos pulled back
relying on past practices in The Horn of Africa
spent trowels embedded in brown grass
as an aftermath of an abandoned campus

sporting neat white hair in The Heartland
“Take Care!” gilded jails now wearing
ankle brackets forbidden to travel
throughout months of captivity
hardly free badly swollen bodies

fear uncertainty detainees
crises from warming
rivers running dry
while bridges
teeter in Erie

gritty scrappy billions for release
as seen in glossy magazines
becoming murky hounded by poverty
on the banks of streams of extreme irony

while swallowing anger at The Steakhouse
stammering no snappy answers
for the allegiance of the working classes
come clawing back captured nationally

scrambled dissatisfaction
failing nuclear family reactions
attracting “Super PACS” backlash...
