Down at my NA group we see a lot of Tattoos.
See a lot on young girls especially,
and they have colored themselves up all over
with laundry lists of forgotten lovers
skulls with rosette eyes
hooka-smoking caterpillars
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.
