An Accented Flip of the Ambitious

" An Accented Flip of the Ambitious "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Other People's Secrets "

Other people's secrets
contrived
with an insider's
vibe
strikingly destabilized
while getting
wise
to the absurdities
of life
Ferociously
nearby
locked in
tightly
on consecutive
nights
with bloody
fistfights
bestowed as a world-
wide title
Imbibing like a life-
sized
wild drinker
in the bacchanals
of the ' 60s
with an occasional
martini
and an accented flip
of the ambitious
as exotic
and unfamiliar
when and if
caught in
the middle
with an interest
in an idealistic
uplift
from a quixotic
beginner
in intoxicants...
