“A Cloud of Stigma”

by Suzán Jiván

A cloud of stigma
neither a legacy
nor a cornerstone
for tabloids
being recalled
as immoral
online wars
printed vividly
as vague
but ominous warnings
as well as “fake”
endorsements
being character voiced
as, “false”
by half-assed sorts
called, “liers”, for short
along with exclamation points
written in chronological order
“right or wrong” as, “a little off”
like iridescent pond water
labeled, “poison” ...
