In front of my seat

A teeny with an elaborate

Tattoo on her neck and her

Shoulder

A bird’s wing obliterated

Partly by her sleeveless top

This is the age of the tattooed

Children

Hope it’s not the only thing

Setting her generation apart

From her previous one

Whereby I do not feel like a

Grandfather to her at all

But I’m probably closer to her

Than that.

I see that today tattoos are

What make a statement in

Society

And not the state of mind

Or talents in the arts.

Cellphones as the new leaders

Of direction

For spirituality

For the life-style

Instant comm’s at its best.
