Though I’m a Golem with a Chem in my head instructing
me to do my duty - I’ve been changed into a Zombie by
eating a Brownie triggering allergy - so now I’m a brain-
dead idiot with muscles so weak, I can only ride my bike
at lowest gear and paddle in the pool & struggle to kick
a ball for my dog to catch - but it doesn’t matter -
That Brownie was exquisite, not a common garden variety,
came from an exotic bakery and brought to me lovingly by
a darling daughter who doesn’t eat sweets herself: lurching
like a Zombie is a price I’m willing to pay for the lovely taste,
- though I must say that my eyes not being able to focus is
quite a drawback - & my fervent desire to eat raw meat
To restore balance to my system is quite frustrating; maybe
next time when my Beloved counsels me - Don’t eat that, it
will make you ill - I shall listen because lurching is changing
into looming & being blind to boot, is irritating - I can’t enjoy
the beautiful world being as blind as a bat & I can’t carry out
the instructions written on the Chem in my head….
[Golem: Clay person with sacred words written on paper in
its head - instructing the Golem to work hard, à la Terry
Pratchett, Zombie: person without mind lurching about]
