Fvck the World

Yesterday I was feeling blue and spent an hour sitting on a park bench.

I was pretty catatonic and weepy - feeling all over fvck the world-ish.

After a bit a kid came to workout on the bars in front of me.

When he took off his shirt I could not believe my eyes...

Sprawled across his chest was a tattoo telling the story of my day.

He struck up a conversation with me and after awhile I said,

"Ya know, your tattoo reflects my mood today precisely."

He laughed as I continued, "Tho I'm hoping mine is less permanent."

He laughed and said, "You should get high. It helps."

I drummed up the courage to ask him if I could take a photo.

I was nervous about his response but he happily snapped, "Sure!"

He popped into an appropriately surly fvck the world pose...

Then climbed to the top of the monkey bars - perched and pondering.

I yelled up to him and thanked him for the chat and the photo.

And as I left he called down after me, "Live high homie, it's the only way."

I'm kind of feeling that way myself today...I hope you are feeling better. I love you.

kinda sad really that the kid feels this way so young, don't you think?
