Zombie Flowers

I’ve never read a horror story
about flowers that come back from the dead.

Zombie flowers. Ugly flowers. They’ll eat you.

In the Disney version zombie flowers
sing songs that teach lessons about life.

In the graphic novels zombie flowers
eat the pretty girl, and her boyfriend
goes on a rampage with a flame thrower
burning all plants not just zombie flowers
until the military shoots him.

The Wikipedia article
on zombie flowers turns out to be full
of odd mistakes placed there on purpose
by some French student researching memes.

People Twitter their zombie flower fears.

Zombie flowers. Ugly flowers. They’ll eat you.

One guy somewhere with an obscure blog
writes a verse novel he posts on-line
about zombie flowers and gets it right,
the perfect blend of romance and gore,
of post-modern distance and cell phones.
But nobody reads verse any more
and all the poetry the guy writes
dies.

        But then it comes back from the dead.
Ugly zombie verse that’ll eat you . . .
