Zombie Walk (National Poetry Writing Month 2024 #2)   Leave a comment

Zombie walk your way to work.
The company wants you dead.
The living complain too much about
Worker's rights, overtime
Families, hopes, and dreams.
Shamble to the coffee machine,
Moan and groan beside the water cooler,
Admire the brains of your executives,
Because clearly they deserve it.
Work until you're done,
Go back to your grave
Stare at your coffin lid
Until they summon you.
Be grateful,
There a zombies in Zimbabwe
That don't even have coffins
So zombie walk your way to work
Like a good little undead

Rubber Band (National Poetry Writing Month 2022 #16)   Leave a comment

You can stretch it out nice and long
But don't go until it snaps
This rubber band can take a lot
Before it develops cracks
Take time to relieve the tension
Lest that become its default state
This rubber band can take a lot
But it can't do much when it breaks
