Skin Art

I would own a tattoo
if I didn't have to get one
not for loss of enduring sentiment
my children's names are permanent enough
nor for economic dis-incentives
how much could permanence cost?
or even that a strong discomfort
might rise to the level of pain:
it's much more to do with fear
that at my end they would say
"Was that the best you could do?"
