Graffiti on Perfectly Good Skin

I am in one of those phases where I am profoundly awed by how good it is to be me.Yesterday, for instance, I went out intending to pick up some groceries and ended up with a pair of tattoos, a new friend who introduced me to some great poetry, and even a few new books. I don't know how much more you can expect before calling it a perfect day.

"Poetry has nothing to do with poetry.
Poetry is how the air goes green before thunder.
Is the sound you make when you come, and why you live and how you bleed,
and the sound you make or don't make when you die." - Gwendolyn McEwen
