science fiction versus witchcraft
to the death & rebirth; fighting
off the undead w/ super weapons
built off-world; totems, amulets
& spells against laser guns &
photon bombs; electrostatic fields
versus the devil himself; temporal
distortions warping spacetime,
zombies losing their footing sink
to the earth's molten core where the
Old Ones awaken & rise to the
surface; graviton cannons solidifying
their ectoplasmic bodies into lead
driving them back to the unearthly
hell from which they came &
ushering in a gleaming tomorrow
