Vipassana

The original sin.

Ancient graffiti, a nameless hand

stenciled on the obscure cave’s wall.


An itinerant naked man with a  

chameleon tattooed on his bald head.


A karaoke singer, in Olde Town, 

in the raucous Chris Columbus Tavern.


A butcher wearing a white apron

over a dead man’s snappy gray suit.


A gang’s graffiti, a hand stenciled 

on the defunct mall’s white wall.
