Sometimes you just gotta face reality, no matter how hard it bites.
Zombie Days
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Actions - Words - Feelings:
But Thoughts? Remembrance?
None.
That's how it is when you're a zombie.
That's how it is when the hot brown liquid
Steals your mind.
That's when you ask yourself:
What did I do?
What did I say?
But you were a zombie, and zombies never know.
My wife fears the zombie,
As do I.
I fear her fear.
So from now, brown liquid
I treat you like a loaded gun,
Which is to say
I hold you not at all.
I'm taking back my mind
While it's still there to take.
No more zombie days -
Nevermore.
