Pictograph Biography 
David J Walker

If asked
He might or might not
Remember the past 
The old man had notched the  days
By the thousands in his trek 
Around the sun
Each marking its path as a
Tattooed etching by the 
Laser edge of history in his skin 
Of every day and every place 
he had ever been
And even if he cannot 
remember them
The pictographs tell the 
Story of everyone who had
Touched him
