Entourages of Juried Art

" Entourages of Juried Art "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Listed on the Masthead "

Listed on the masthead
as a way of saying,
" Wonky " without
being, " Geeky "
when wincing
with resignation
and straining
for effort
as pulpheaded
grotesques
of indelible
"whatevers "
Obliquely
evoking
devotional
close-ups
as full-throated
disassociations
mixing and mingling
fittingly with ragtag
sensibilities
Planning and regretting
skimpy breakfasts
with confessions
of heavy drinking
engulfed in tiger lilies
including scholars
abs security guards
doubling as snuffboxes
In entourages of juried art
as peasants toddle
and frogs hop in a windup
clock of catharsis...
