3 days since the lights got shut off
The food ran out and the gas got cut off
Candle on the mantle or in hands held aloft
Caught off guard, unprepared for the onslaught
Shadow arachnids rapid attracted
Look mad and combative
Breath ragged unwilling combatant
Courage is absent, mind split to fragment(s)
Cluster split like scarlett sea
Chief splits the crush, moves to front of scene
Eight legged old soul quite elderly
Mouth separates, words flow easily
It’s time, go by flame or feast
Combust to dust or shredded by beasts
Tough choice, which way to become deceased
Assume the lotus position, and be at peace

Sleep walking through waking state
wake-walking through their dreams

At the
Walmart deli counter, something’s amiss
Front counter missing, now a clear monolith
Suspended animation cyborg within
Eyes blinded, vision though solar plexus
Front counter back, being behind
Umbilicus vision sees through, eyes are blind
Porthole appears, message from creature in bind
Futile warn of future, malfunction of mind
No control, rip the mess of flesh through the porthole
Starts expanding like incident from neo-tokyo
Think it’s about to blow
But the pressure just crushes it, poor thing dying slow
Squeaks out final advice
From the hybrid leaking fluid, soon to not be alive
Ultimatum on it’s way, due soon to arrive
Don’t fucking sleepwalk through it, be awake to decide
