a) most of my tats are literary references which i really like. i only want lit themes tats from now on b)let's talk about how whitman does this shit in all of his poetry and like, c'mon walt, seriously? You air that serves me with breath to speak! You objects that call from diffusion my meanings, and give them shape! 25 You light that wraps me and all things in delicate equable showers! You paths worn in the irregular hollows by the roadsides! I think you are latent with unseen existences-you are so dear to me.
You flagg’d walks of the cities! you strong curbs at the edges! You ferries! you planks and posts of wharves! you timber-lined sides! you distant ships! 30 You rows of houses! you window-pierc’d façades! you roofs! You porches and entrances! you copings and iron guards! You windows whose transparent shells might expose so much! You doors and ascending steps! you arches! You gray stones of interminable pavements! you trodden crossings!o this o that you this you that blah blah blah

a) yeah, i was thinking about yours. i particularly like your stay gold tattoo.
b) yeah, walt is a little longwinded, and honestly, there are some parts i just skim over. but then there are these gems. he edited so much; why didn't he break up those stanzas a little more?
c) i love that line. you should go for it.
d) ok, i considered this one, but i already have "pure" tattoed on me, so then won't i look like i think really highly of myself?
e) i've been thinking about powerlines for awhile, actually. i love the look of them. i'd love for my front bird to be landing on them, but it's hard because you know, there's not that much room between him and my breasts and i don't particularly want to be tattooed there.
i'm going to draw up some ideas though, will you look at them and give me feedback when i'm done?
