“ Cordoned Off “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Cordoned off
gone wrong
“It’s all according”
to humiliation
and outrage
having moved
from hobbyist
curiosity
to mainstream
technology
solving
the coldest of cases
being easily mistaken
feeling exonerated
decades later
siting flamethrower
campaigns
feeling dazed yet savvy
via a changeup
by a spin-maker
like whiny babies
in their early stages
of non-verbal communication
for puppet nations
in the contiguous states
undergoing jiggly renovations
along lost highways
as seen by levitating eyes
fighting off snakebites ...
