Poetry – Pause

Pause

 

Someone pressed pause

And we were trapped in a hiatus.

Time stood still.

The world went quiet.

Deserted streets and eerie stillness,

Shut shops, parked cars,

Invisible people.

Activity nil.

Nature watched,

Taking stock,

Bemused.

Could it be?

The zombie apocalypse

Has freed the world

Of the stranglehold

Of humanity?

Except,

It was just

Temporary.
