Traveler And Zombie

- Eeeeeeee!!!
Anybody there???...

There were many,
too many to know or count...

Took the last train out of there...
Sat across a zombie...

- Bite me, he offered politely...
- No can do, infected teeth enamel,
the zombie replied,
suggesting, instead, a game of bridge...
- I don't gamble anymore...
- I see!... A tortured soul proned to poetry...
I'm all ears... and, opinions...

Long silence ensued
both staring outside...

- Wasteland, he murmured...
- That's my stop, the zombie exclaimed,
stood up,
jumped out the window
and mingled with the barren landscape...

Slept through the rest of the ride...
End of the line...
No welcome in sight...

- Eeeeeeee!!!
Anybody there???...

There were many
too many to count, to know, or care...

Tore up his two way ticket...
Headed for a stroll down Main Street...
