Little Effect

" Little Effect "

by Suzán Jiván

Changing rules
of engagement
with surprisingly
little giggling
while fumbling
and struggling
with constantly
tugging
strapped on
splints
weighted
harnesses
and fogged-up
door knobs
as a rising
demented sea
of muddled needs
brings
scant treatment
and perpetual
apprehension
with little effect
on holiday
gift suggestions
and mixed blessings...
