" Buffeted"...

" Buffeted "

by Suzán Jiván

Buffeted by doubt
confronting scalpers
after lifting sanctions
and feeling rattled
by racks and racks
of reading glasses
for straphangers

searching for answers
in living labs
of bachelor pads
beneath steel canopies
by analysts of branding

like glamorous
contractors of fantasy
minus exaggeration
by the puritanical
during nights-of-flash
categories for Grammy fashions

based on heroes of the past
and mega-selling soundtracks
empowering underclasses
sprinkled with white hairs
from deepening musicalities
while ripping off the veil
with grippingly imaginative
striking detail...
