" Slamming Shut "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
Slamming shut
digging in
brushing aside stirrings
of pageantry
and ceremonial meetings
reading, "NO VACANCY"
suddenly seeming unseemly
primeval and surreal
experiencing extreme misery
while lying beneath
underpinnings of cruel feats
from sharp-shinned strategies
clinching double-digit victories
racking up wins
toughening resistances
in miniature
heading into recess
with imaginary friends
as a premise
becoming hugely successful
minus any visual evidence
like nothing else...
