there's something about a zombie speaks to us
zombie something we all fear
becoming, if we think about it
he frightening in a primordial way, a modern way,
he dead but walking, he has to work even after death
he the living dead, an ancient figure, but he's also
the inanimate animated like
the robot of industrial wasteopias
with his perfect obedience and lack of any future, the zombie
who cannot escape from servitude even in death
is the echt citizen in a dictatorship-
he's great for fascism, except he's not desperate, he simply is
as he's devoid of hope and consciousness
and therefore unable to come up with a critique
of the system
the zombie is the very purest form of slave
