“ A Loaded Question “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

A loaded
question
a load
off one’s mind
look sharp
look smart
loom large
lie low
the low down
frozen
to the marrow
meeting
one’s match
not mincing matters
before the mast
in the mass
for that matter
as a mixed bag
in the off chance
of holding out a carrot
while carrying the can
both root and branch ...
