                                              This pen’s ink
                          On my skin
                          Has no less meaning

                          Than the tattoo within it


                          The tattoo though
                          Is someone’s art that
                          I have let live in my body
                          And carry with me
                          Each day


                          I suppose
                          If Ginsberg wrote
                          “Transcription of Organ Music”
                          In a book bound with my skin
                          It might special as well
