"Conflicts"...

" Conflicts " by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

Conflicts of interest extremely limited elite halls of ivy on easy street
deemed over achievers luring and retaining people
as occasional heavy breathers being given greater leeway
when alarm bells ring targeting analog oddities of cheap new technologies

bolstering controversy by knife-wielding sport utility drivers
later dying in London's heart gone bonk hot-button topics
with gonzo élan gone blogging via mangy dioramas
and jaw-droppers in a janitor's cleaning closets

fool-hardily binge watching tragi-comedies
sniffing swilling and spitting
then suddenly switching to high C's
in global squeezes upon filing for bankruptcy
but barely speaking of other things
irregardlessly of faint murmurings unfeelingly
recorded as disappointments galore

in avoidance of exhaustion over-reaching accordingly
after being barred for years donning body armor
well stocked but left wanting in ramrod docudramas
for snake charmers in flannel pajamas with red-and-blue splotches

ardently waving pompoms during sleepwear galas concocted
at novelty hospitals converted to cookie-cutter apartments
reluctantly adopted by sex shops for beauty stars
upward and onward with oversized pockets

filled genealogies being re-released as one-of-a-kind pieces
marketed coveted accessories custom-made to feel
really really regal while dreaming romantically
in raw silk and linen from Italy like ultimate A-listers

instilled with charisma at celebratory dinners
flagshipped street-level windows filled with mannequins
magnifiquely debuting this season benefiting from proceeds
from museum attendees' mercurial pastiche

gatekeepers scoffing feeling exempt from all-encompassing snobbery
paint splatterings keeping grief at bay still gaping bruising grays
of emotional raw data annotating revelations via cosmic communication
throbbing anguish re-incarnated clear-eyed understatements
by first-person narrators speaking in florid languages...
