Down at my NA group we see a lot of Tattoos.
See a lot on the young girls especially,
and they have colored themselves up all over
with laundry lists of forgotten lovers
Khal Drogo (Sun of my Moon)
skulls with rosette eyes
hooka-smoking caterpillars
O'Keefe's lilies
and its going to be a long long life.
Sometimes they'll talk ink
and one of them
(that still has a few square inches of peachy flesh left)
tells about what she is going to put there,
on the last remaining patch of herself
that doesn't resemble something not her.
I just want to shake them and scream
NN-OOOO!
But its too late already.
