i see a word tattooed on her arm
chinese characters on caucasian skin
i imagine what it could say
gramma because that's the arm that carried the coffin
daughter because that's who she misses most
fuck because she has a sense of humour
taylor swift because she's a fan
"can i take a picture of you tattoo"
she plays it cool and says "Yeah, sure"
acting all better-hurry-i-have-important-people-and-meetings-to-see-to
but her interior shows through
proud and impressed that someone wants a picture of a tattoo
"what's it mean?"
"i dunno, i just like the way it looked"
"cool"
i show it to my only friend that can read chinese
(does that sound like i only have one friend?
anyway, she says it is a nonsense character, holding no meaning
but i want to believe that even nonsense characters, hold meaning
