i ever saw
was on Ernie's forearm,
the boy
with Tourette syndrome
who lived
behind our
house,
just a hop over
the waist high chain
link fence.
with a safety pin,
a match
to sterilize with,
and a bottle of green
ink
he inscribed on his
arm
his initials,
ET.
nothing else, just ET.
no heart,
no anchor, no words
in Chinese.
just ET.
