Well Heeled

" Well Heeled "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube

Well heeled
as site-specific
and always riveting
with an acid tongue
and droll delivery
full of jokey
but largely
charm-free
preconceived
theater
like featured
premieres
of follies
in an underlying
high-minded muddle
in the middle of nothing
but the monotony
of a feckless freckle face
accessed as imperfection
opposed to adolescent
innocence
Slyly reinvented
smothering, bewildering
and fragmented
Directly in the sweet spot
of a typical odyssey
as an emerging body
inadvertently exposed
to free uploads
while acquiring their own
potency with blistering notes
in long-running shows
as a clown known
all over the globe
as an irreversible coma
In empathy with untested
enemies with only
a tenuous connection
while settling
for the unmentionable
tragic mashup
with a rotating cast
Ambitiously staged
as aging giving free reign
to appalling fascination
and poetic observation
like naysayers
in semi-stages
of the pseudo-sacred
waxing and waning
as gangsta strains...
