The Books Do Not Speak

the walking dead. zombies. don’t eat flesh. rather they ignore it. the siren, heartless body, panic, unseen. paying for or glued to the screen. the body floats by them. they wouldn’t have waved anyway. a silent scream emanates from the brush with death. 5/11/2022

The people in the library the day we had a death…unbelievable…I was beside myself.

I have never seen a film with zombies in them. For some reason I ignore them. Hugs.

This is about the people that walk around oblivious of what is going on around them, even death. I encountered such a situation.
