The Speed of Fiction
Poem
By Jim Gandolf
©️ XXVMMXXVIWMA
A glowing screen, a frantic feed,
A title framed to plant a seed.
A whispered phrase, a painted view,
Where fast beats real, and loud beats true.
A famous face, an altered frame,
A scandal tied to someone’s name.
No double-check, no backward glance,
Just outrage given center dance.
The headlines twist, the rumors fly,
A world persuaded by a lie.
For fiction builds a quicker fire
When passion fuels the dark desire.
With simple taps, the echo grows,
And off into the fog it goes.
No search for proof, no pause to think,
Just swallowed down in printer’s ink.
Yet truth remains, quiet and clear,
A steady voice we fail to hear—
Beneath the storm of click and spark,
A light obscured within the dark.
Jim Gandolf
You have become clickbait for the world to see.
