"Unusually Varied Fare"...

"Unusually Varied Fare"

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Unusually varied fare
mainly through the brasses
cheek by jowl with gravitas
as jaunty jazzy epiphanies
way down by the river
with shared frailties

while grasping
for bronze handles
and railings
and thwacking
mallets of tangible
ambience

synthesized
by 3-D robotry
mimicking
radioactivity
from colossal
tsunamis

at once precarious
and routine
veneers of stability

masking
the grueling
and dangerous
gerrymandering
of pivotal neighbors

like gangsters'
hazardous
day-to-days
now on display...
