A man with a Metallica tattoo
a sculptor’s daughter
and a ballerina who broke her foot
on the first day of the job
the muslim pilot
is kissing a detective’s wife
while driving the plane
as the co-pilot sits in the bathroom
no one else has noticed a thing
I can hear Eminem
on the night bus home
on a poor man’s headphones
“it’s not so bad,
it’s not so bad”
It’s not so bad.
--Raphael C. Watkins
