" On the Cusp "
by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán
On the cusp
of stagnating numbers
long odds slim majorities
as sops to sticklers in swap shops
prettied up but brawny
heavyweight historians
scoffing at powdered-wigged
prissy nerdy inches
seen beneath moody lighting
for hurried selfies
snapped on an even keel
between a long house and tepee
in keeping with cantilevered history
while sparkling power rings
on pinkies are deemed, "easy-peasy"...
