First day of school down
Fake/temp tattoo placed by my 6 yr old beginning to fade
Yep, my 6 yr old placed it
He chose this spot on my arm
Lay this paper,
Water and voilá
Perfectly placed
I secretly love it – even as I don’t recognize my arm
Never been able to place those without tearing them apart
What a summer!
And like this tattoo little parts of it fading into memory
And bleeding nicely into fall, into back to school, into my favorite time of the year
My patient today says
“Dr Gomez, God knows my days are numbered –
And I wish to stop therapy
I want to be with the people I love”
Mrs B –
I get it
All of ours are
Go enjoy em!
Here’s to the last days of summer
Here’s to back to school
Here’s to the decisions we make
Here’s to whatever seems to be fading
Maybe that’s what’s really permanent
