In the near future, I learn from tv,
we will fight zombies
with guns and crude implements
in a broken down world
unwinding like a pocketwatch
Some will die, it’s true
And there will be brief
melodramatic mourning
as we laud the heroes
and the victims
Decay will be
the order of the day
dissolution and entropy
laying claim to our
precious dream of technology
And the last thing to go
say the tv prognosticators
will be our humanity
unless our grip on it
was slippery to begin with
