Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

GRACEFUL WAS NO LONGER IN FASHION
that tattoo was a riot numbers inscribed in its midst spoke of decay of a bygone era GRACEFUL WAS NO LONGER IN FASHION bygone era gave way to a decayed one numbers danced with glee rioting in that tattoo art
I have to admit I'm not at all sure what the numbers refer to. When I think of tattooed numbers, the image of Nazi concentration camps comes to mind, but I don't believe that's what you were talking about...
Great write. It makes me think possibly the tattoo has the year stamped in there somewhere, someone's memento of whatever bygone era you speak of. Very descriptive, yet leaves much to the imagination.

Cleverly done! Whatever one's opinion of tattoos, there's no doubt we've lost a lot of the grace of prior eras.
Nice, nice and very true
Good one :)
tatoo was a riot - is great!

A graceful stride across the parking lot
