Tattoo

(for David)

had a friend once who got a tattoo on his elbow;
drunk! The guy daubed quick at the bone
and said that "it seems to be bleeding a lot," and
Mark grinned. It really's just an economy of want.
But what's not? And that hand was numb
for a month or so—like a funny bone—and Mark
was afraid that it'd never feel right again, and it did.
