" The High Price "...

" The High Price "

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

The high price of immortality
in between finger rings
of unyielding restorative serums
as wellness amenities
posing perpetual questions
self-portraits entering into evidence
for feminine mystics
with lipstick-stained histories
in back seats of mid centuries
"What are you reading?"
people places and parties
during weeks of mid-season skiing
always being irked
by the firing up of the bird
certainly well deserved
given award-winning bottles of milk
covering hand-wringing conflicts
of influential peoples
moving into million-dollar properties
ensuring conveniences for fickle
superlobbyists not having to work too hard
outside of the arts leaving tire marks
tops upon tops for footsteps from father
splendid or not through car washes
dining darning donning finer wrist watches
for faces that can stop a clock...
