Is You Is?

" Is You Is? "

by Suzán Jiván, Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

" Is you is
or is you ain't? "

a pared-down plainness
in a staged adaptation
of women haters

coming of age on a webpage
as inescapable shame
and humiliation
made famous

on and off stage
like the maudlin clichés
of a lose-lose situation
loosely named, "ma' baby"...
