This is the scene in the movie where we learn
that the zombies teeth become so accentuated
because the news of being dead travels first
to the mandibles then to the soul.
Maybe not so vampire or werewolf like
but you have to admit the teeth, the beacon
fires that let your whole being now it still is
and is yet no more, you have to admit they
get awful yellow awful quick, like a cart load
of corpses during the plague, the news
comes out of these scenes, and some bodies
get old and start to smell, right? and some get
up all tooth wrong, leaving little spurts of juice
like tips on the table and start to come
at you and you wonder how to get out of this
scene, the frames slipping so fast you fall ,
or you could be suspended in white space,
or slick on a wetness and as everything slows down
you notice how it gets long, gums wrinkling
like theater curtains and everything going yellow,
tumbling upon you like a sack of lemons was
held above you for so long and finally someone
came by with a sharp knife and sliced it open
on you, and you kneel down as they thump on you
because you have to admit it that we cant know
everything about the zombies and their teeth.
