Zombie

I'm an unhappy camper
full of camphor, and dis

tended bellies growing
larger ever day. As the

lodger who multiplied
and has since died,

but kept on moving.

Brain sandwich, extra
mayonnaise, salt and

pepper; diet soda. Fig-
hting the road, but then

walking it over.

Wrought metal coaster,
rusting; taught green socks,
andthe trusting elastic, calf

holding. I'm scared of the
history and holding on to it.

What laird, and whose self-right
eous fit fought over rain

dance, body-paint, tartan?
What movings have gone

from sincere to distain so
quickly? And whose culture

is lolloping sickly?

Holiday

This wanderlust; I'm
passing out. This wait
wait, wait and orange
spout of boiling water.
The treading harder
through it; getting pink
as both feet soles are
growing hotter.

The honest and penitent
man going faster, and faster
and faster, and faster. Does
he get there—
