I am jealous of the lives of ordinary people
of their rolling achievements
if only there were a way to paint them
turn the light upon some of these
common gardenias and
hold them still in the placid gold
One of the boys
sitting next to me in the VA
had a tattoo of
Barney the dinosaur on
his ropey forearm
I want to know
I want to know why and
what the fuck it means
My own scratchings are
ugly dull and mostly free
never get a tattoo a judge
is going to see
that's what Dad said to me
There's a redhead down the hall
who looks as tough as a little truck
but has little rainbows
and unicorns on her pelt
The little pictures should make
thinking people keep their distance
I went walking the other day
and a woman gasped a little
when she rounded the corner on me
I had a shirt on, but she
probably saw what's
under all this
bullshit
