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?
