My Ever-Changing Tattoo

My Ever-Changing Tattoo.

"My Ever-Changing Tattoo" is a short poem by Karl Jones.

My Ever-Changing Tattoo

Context: "I hate numbers."

I am sorry to hear that

I experience numbers as wordless painful addictive joy

Intelligence without purpose

Symbols radiant with useless meaning

Protean trophies

Burning the ever-changing tattoo of my mind
