into the future

gettin a tatoo seems no big thing these days
at least not in the east village
there are new parlors openin up
shoot
i dont remember anyone in high school havin one
college? not really either
tha was that time and place.
zoom up
i feel like such the minority in my uninked skin
stats say somethin like 40% of peeps my age have one
imagine
2050
when were all hangin at the beach with the grandkids
sunnin our leathered
inked skin
gramas and grandpas as far as the eye can see
inked up
wont that be a sight
