“You Don’t Think” ...

“ You Don’t Think “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

You don’t think
while quietly meddling
riskily working
for a shadowy firm

tapping rallying
stolen identities
indictments unprovided
named nine times

scheming advising
disrupting clearly
pointing to the anguish
over “an Endless War”

cut off outnumbered
outgunned companions
dragged with one hand
“Black!” Lying on your back

under a hail of fire
tracking tapping
chief among the latter
as a matter of grim facts

like unlikely pairs
strikingly handsome rag dolls
probably unconscious

for a time drawing a knife
never leaving the site
perpetually hiding despite
being veiled in flashing lights
strobing side-to-side
molten spectral eyes...
