When vampires refer to human beings as zombies

they can get away with it because theres no one who can refute Our culpability

to its title

we can turn in fast circles with our eyes peeled wideopen (chasing our tails)

we can bend from our hips and look backwards between our widespread legs  bend 

back

cast our eyes to the heavens (therell be no gawd staring back into our baby blues)

                                                                                                         or climb a tree

(you dont see human beings in trees much anymore  --  he supposed we were down to 

earth for good)  and looking back down from where we rose

we can recognize its the only tree Mankind came up on

                                                                                                          an old idiom

(he loved old idioms because they never get any smarter)  and because theyre uncannily true

An acorn doesnt fall far from its tree

                                                                                                which should be very Cool

because our acorns come in different colours    Indian   flint   or calico corn

though it is unfortunate that bit of information is continuously and vehemently denied

it has come home to roost  (brilliant fucking idioms!)

Zombies 

thats a tough knock

we arent even dead yet

and were being called out for what we are

                                                                                            called out for failing to recognize

as we move through our lives we scarcely pay any attention to where we have been and

why we were there

that our lives come drastically at us in all directions

yet

we seem happiest when we are distracted by whats next or what we want next and 

very surprised

at The End

that it evaporated

simmered into the nauseous white tiles of a hospital rooms suspended ceiling 

 

one of many lids topping off our killing jar

Who sold us that Bill of Goods

and if we really didnt buy them

then Who the fuck signed for them for us

                                                                           he set his pen down  picked his coffee cup 

off the green grass beside him  and watched its blades slowly and deliberately tick up 

towards the yellow sun  a weight they were not responsible for off their backs
