bela lugosi's dead

well then i was walking this morning thru downtown when i pass a building i pass every morning an ol' condemned work that once housed a sro hotel occupying the top floors & an ancient steakhouse called the broiler which by the by merely changed locales as for the occupants of the sro my guess is the city gave them the boot & little else

well then on the wall of this building thats been boarded up for a couple of years now was this giant roach fucking big scarab that was a wee bit dun colored yet it was too big to be a bug at all methought maybe it was instead perhaps a halloween decorative piece tacked on by who knows what asshole

well then i stopt took a look at the thing that was tacked up at eyelevel & i'se could see it had wings and little boney bones bent as it was hunkered down

well then i spy it was a bat still asnooze at 8:30 am & surprised by it i'se jumpt back to me walk and saunterd quickly away

well then the building must be home to a lot of them & as the day took its grind i thought maybe the bat couldnt find the way back in after the nuits hunt & and it was my dearest wish that the creature would take wing tonite & rise like the living dead
