"Pointed If Not Sentimental"
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Pointed if not sentimental
at first testy exuding spunkiness
while glaring across desks
of oozing weariness
after barely
beating an eyelash
having tried and failed
caught unawares
poorly financed
left flailing
underhandedly
and matter-of-factly
bantering in shorthand
being held to higher standards
via back alleys of collateral damage
as sight gags with and without contrast...
