" Still Kicking "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Still kicking
in a rare collision
being sworn in
as less-than-thrilling flicks
of thoroughly convincing
yet fictional legitimacy
while donning playlists
from hard basics
having lived through decades
of "playing it safe"
ankle deep in reigned-in claims
like former candidates
on Inauguration Day
during once-buttoned-downed ages
answering via claims-to-fame
by exclaiming, "Don't be afraid!"
losing to "anchors away"
during unarticulated
once-savvy small business raves
re-entering the fray as "fake"
with much at stake
on a case-by-case basis
for felony tax evaders
along hacked campaign trails
slated for the following day...
