WHY NOT

tattoo your eye-
ball if you want to
remember some
significant advice
or event.

hire someone
to carry a sign
in front of you,

“i loved this dead
guy,” or “always be
kind.” you want to be

more present or be-
have more consistently
do you really need
ink needled under
your skin for everyone
to see?

live and let
live. be and let
be. we’re all going
to die eventually.

ashes to ashes,
ink to dust,
your body a taut
canvas, stretched
between you and me.
