adventurers

my tattoos

were designed

with you

in mind...

i knew

the stigma

they would

imbue

and appreciate

your disdain...

my tattoos

stand sentinel

to those who

do not go beyond

the mouth of a

river...

television and

gutter press

adventurers...

i dedicate

my tattoos

to your

conditioning

oh i so feel this - right on my tattooed soul and skin - this poem speaks to my heart - there is ink and there is ink - on parchment or canvas or skin - and art is art - its meant for the heart - and whoever doesn't agree - was never meant to see - that those tattoos - are not afterthoughts - but evidence - of presences and absences - that could never not be - permanent.

ps: i have three - and i hear thee!!! :)

you tear through those horribly defined columns of norms which skewer the imaginative mind on streaming pixels through the glass teat ~and in skin alive and mind alive splash the most incredibly affecting hues through the screen~
the body inked tells a story the majority of shell casing hollow human dolls couldn't even begin to grasp until they stop being streamed and start streaming~

briliant push poetics~

those markings are maps and charts to guide the adventurous soul beyond . . . I like this.
