Underwritten

" Underwritten "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Not Quite Farcical "

Not quite farcical
offering an over gloss
for a salsa
and merengue cohort
as an impromptu
put off cast call
at the complete
annoyance
of a purportedly
loyal audience
Not quite pulling
off the tenacity
of a sometime thriller
imbued with youth
in a biomusical
like a decisive timeline
for flinty survivors
with strong song styles
in working order
as passions still
underwritten within
an original script
Left uninvestigated
since a wizard-
seeking gimmicky
deliberance
with a tatted
wisecracking
masked man
as the answer
to lonely wales
with a backstabbing
riot of spangles
And the beat goes on
as uninterrupted thumps
of disruptive percussion
finding the courage
to drum up life's laments
summed up punch drunk...
