The New Zombie
1
I stare at a faint
spinning disc
in the black
endlessly
ready to pounce.
2
I actually say,
"I'm so sick
of zombies!"
3
Viral relics
in the genome?
Genes that switch
themselves off
and on,
unthinking
but coordinated?
4
Zombie surfeit
Half-off zombie.
The best zombie
imitation.
Invisible zombie
hand
