Sins

I used to say

The only sin
I ever committed
Was the fact
I never committed any

I wondered
Occasionally
if anyone else
had ever said
those words before

If so I never heard

But they sounded
so very quotable to me
Still as far as I knew
Only my words for me

And for a time
they were so true

Yes, for a time
they used to be so true
they used to be so true

A question for the movies…

So Whats up with the fast zombies?

Hollywood,
If you could,
Please answer me this:

Ghouls no good for you?
They’re flesh eating creatures too,
and not necessarily of the night.
Plenty well conditioned
to give someone a fright!

Zombies shamble around,
much like mindless sheep.
They don’t break fast,
run at you and leap!

What happened I ask
Did some director see
some poor homeless zombie
out on the street
then say “Hey You!”
“You there!”
“With the open wounds,”
“and festering fingers!”
“You could be in movies!”

Did he square his fingers
and frame the poor lost soul
then excitedly exclaim

“Yeah you!”
“Just work out a little”
“Go to the gym”
“Trust me on this”
“You’ll fit right in!”
