” A Passing Reference “

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

A passing reference to opening sketches
kept free from expletives by press secretaries
as read heavily in the comments section
“ click here for refreshers on where we left off”
not quite yet making any sense whatsoever
as perplexed voters prepare to press levers
grappling with questions of ethics
asking “Will distance learning help?”
heavily edited and condensed
labeled, “Not at all what we expected!”
while banning screens from classes altogether
spending millions on enormous plots in Nevada
based on chainlink technology issuing exit packages
having been accused of harassment
being linked to cancer at least in rats
boldly labeled, “Too big to fail”
crammed with lengthy PAC ads ...
