Behind Dull Shutters

hiding right here behind these dull shutters
from the lulling songs of that outside world,

maybe if we stay planted where we are at
they may just forget about our lil' absence

because, after all, there are always bigger
goose to be marinaded, and fully cooked

but is it really socially relevant for us to keep
ourselves locked away, beyond the zombies?
