Might as well add a Poetry Thursday this week...

Not a regular feature, but I just read Robert Borksi's "Rebranding" in Strange Horizons, and it made me smile. It's a zombie poem. Or a case could be made that it's vampires. It's never explicit. To be honest, I'm pretty fed up with zombies in fiction, though as a trope they're not quite as scraped dry as, say, vampires. But in comical pieces, especially short-ish, they can be fun. I think the clincher for me was calling the zombies (or vampires?) "homo semimortui." Bye bye, sapiens!
