REBERTH a smudged tattoo thatll grab anyones attentionit
certainly grabbed his there was a date
beneath it but it was obscure by the fellas bluejean shirt collarhis long greasy
hair 10 - something October he didnt strike him as someone who would
place the day before the month as he had since he was in junior high Mr Carter his English teacherborn in England
liked it and refused to nick his grade despite complaints by other core-teachers
and some students who felt he was getting away with something
What
Whatever you’re getting away
with; you should be made to do as we do.
Or you can do what you like I write the exact same date as you no
matter how it looks
Then you should understand why
you’re not liked.
I dont think how I write the date
relates to me not being liked Im not
liked because I dont fawn over the hip kidsthe kids who are popular popular for some reason that eludes me
thats how it began in junior high
and continued through high school
he preferred his own company
he didnt follow any cliques join
any groups
he stood his groundmaking sure
his back was to a wall people dont likeprefer
not coming at someone face to face
somewhere he developed a taste
for confrontation
it wasnt a matter of being
confrontational for confrontations sake
no he simply stood up for what he believed and kept an array of evidence he compiled to back
himself up
hed listen to reasonable arguments
he didnt cut faith any slack
Excuse me he said as he tapped
the fellow on the shoulder he sat on the
bus facing the aisle while the fella sat facing the front of the bus on the
aisle immediately to his left
the guy cocked his head Yeah.
he liked that it wasnt a question I just now noticed the tattoo on your neck
Yeah.
I cant make out the date Obviously its important to you you got it inked on the back of
your neck gotta look funny in a mirror
if he looked
October 29, 2009.
If I may a rebirth
Yeah. A rebirth.
Thanks man I appreciate your words your time
the guy turned in his seattorqued
his head around and eyed him
he nodded to him
evidently satisfied he finally turned
back to face the front of the bus and readjusted the brown paper grocerybag in
his lap
there was no point in pointing
out the obvious was there
