after having watched
plan nine from outer space (again)
i was suddenly struck with
the horrifying possibility
that the dead may never
rise again [like zombies]
without aliens to arrive (
with a stupid plan to impress us
out of our scientific frenzy
(saving the universe for themselves)
without aliens and their
stupid plan to ressurect
three dead people in some
out of the way town
in the middle of nowhere
to be witnessed by a handful
of hardly bewildered nobodies
who are too distracted
by their desire to kill aliens
to notice what a great feat
that raising dead people is)
and get killed by us
and what if that turns out
to be really true?
what if the dead
never rise again
but,
instead, remain unrisen
in their graves for eons
their molecules dispersing
in all directions, intermingling
with the molecules of substances
sifting through the ground water
and meeting magma and high pressure
their calcium molecules becoming
lost amid other calciums
and earth calciums?
and what if the deified people
never return like they were
supposed to?--either
due to the fact that they
never really left, but instead
accomplishing the same kind
of molecule dispersion that
their non-deified human counterparts
accomplished?
or else due to the possibilty
that they forgot all about us
a billion years from now?
and
what if civilizations of new
species develop--with their own
languages and shopping malls
walking all over our dispersed
molecules with no awareness of
our ever having existed
due to he erosion of the
pyramids?
