Library Zombies

they can be seen

all over the library

by the magazine rack

looking like they lost something

reading newspapers

any news will do

listening to music

without hearing

any of it

on a laptop

maybe this application

will be the one, finally

searching for the wife

who died

6 years ago

sometimes just walking

from one end to the other

tired like

lost

hopeless

just this side

of crazy

past despair

on the way

to oblivion
