If You Missed the Grand Gala

" If You Missed the Grand Gala "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube

If you missed the grand gala
while trying to catch
up to the bare
necessities
whizzing
at high speed
past
masterpieces
against flickering
screens
of catastrophes
in smoking
ruins
of black bamboo
as a cartoonist
of the venal
and foolish
with the satiric
draftsmanship
of a traditionalist
engendering
the kaleidoscopic
agenda
of a skeptic
like a former
director
of, " Let's
Get it Together! "
In new digs
going, " Pfffft ! "
after waking
up on sleepy
streets
without rhyme
or reason
in makeshift
seats
of sheathing
devoted
to the old days
navigating
through space
with solos
as the focus
in calibrated poses
of hocus-pocus
as ways to escape
the fast-paced
by snaking
across a baggage-
ladened stage...
