Zombie Poetry! Tonight! At the Graveyard!
Organizers admit that last month’s zombie poetry reading was an absolute disgrace. Not only did the readers devour their audience before the promised open mic even began (instead of slipping out quietly before the end as featured readers, and a good portion of the audience, are wont to do at such events), but it also turned out that poetry written by zombies is little more than moans. (Though survivor reports say that they rhymed enough to please some proponents of formal verse.)
This month’s reading, however, promises to be better, as it is not the readers who are zombies but the poetry that is undead, thanks to too-frequent reports of its demise.
