Dawn of the Dead
Everything outside the shopping mall is death
but the producer failed to obtain corporate sponsorship
from anywhere I’d care to shop so I try on prom jewelry again
at Clare’s Accessories while a corpse throbs
in the parking lot. The escalator delivers
nothing in the daylight, just reemerges from its mystery loop
without new footsteps.
Have you found someone more delicious? You’ve been a zombie
since even before the opening credits but I haven’t seen you
outside Macy’s drooling for my flesh. It’s like being 15 in New Jersey.
The mall is safe and lonely and I haven’t met you yet.
