Zombies Part 2

 

They wake up at 3AM!

They scribble and scrabble with chisels

And sometimes a pen.

 

They sniffle and snuffle in bags

To get their highs

Stale bread and half eaten chicken thighs.

 

They do their laundry; while we sleep:

Peeping from behind doors, cats eyes

On wooden floors.

 

Who are they? What do they want?

 

Wake up at 3AM

Join their world: Remember to bring a pen.

Dear Peachy! Hi Belinda, I like pt 2 of your Zombies series, as you know I really liked pt 1, is there going to be a pt 3 conclusion to what the Zombies are doing, that would be good! cheers Jeff X

ps thanx for your comment on 'when I'm down' I wrote it a few months ago, and although still relevant its not as bad now, the poetry helps! Must try that Zazen stuff! I did wonder whether your poem was a state of mind or real life based on your zombie stuff! Know where you're coming from good to know you're okay!
