A New Store In Town

There is a new kid in town. A new company. Storefront with glass. Headless Hands is what the marquee says. A daycare center? Creative writing center? Nail salon? Give up? I did. Headless hands tattoo. Not sure I would want someone without a head tattooing me. I am still pondering the why behind the name. Two partners? Joe Headless and Stan Hands? I would go in and ask, except I am a woman who cannot say “no”. Easily talked into stuff And I have always thought A baby dinosaur tattoo with A red beret would look pretty Sweet on my derriere. I dare not go inside. Was that a light? Do you suppose they are open?

Very cool. Currently reading Steppenwolf, again. This poem reminds me of the part where Harry sees a sign outside a theatre. Your mind is a kaleidescope, intriguing. Very cool poem.

I truly have it penned out, ready, for when I get drunk enough. Too bad liquor makes me regurgitate.

Thank you Eve. Every time we pass "Headless Hands" I have written these words down - about eight times, before I finally figured out what I wanted to DO with it!
