Zombie planktons

orchestrated march to the sound of abysmal chaos, filed neatly into disheveled lines
one step at a time, infinite times over, on the same path yet
ignore the landscape, wind on your face is yesterday's breath, it stood in time.
Waiting to resurrect under another exhale.
limbs in decay plop out and fell
still, there are more to replace, starting and ending with a toothless grin
death drill to feel alive, hop on, all aboard
all aboard the sameness boat, flowing effortlessly where the planktons strive
tongues to gnaw out metal, teeth to rip open air
scavenging hunt for elusive brains, squirreling away lumps of ribbony tissue in thick set mantle of collagen cage
infinitesimal mirage ostentatiously immovable, painfully identical for display to all
racing in flock, crowding in herds
interchangeable dead eyed gaze
synthesizing on conveyer belts, floating on currents of uniform regurgitate
irrelevance is invisible, the wheels of a life cycle
running hungry, crawling with hunger, from the age of dawn to the end of days
