"LET ME DIE A YOUNG MANS DEATH",

"Christ don't lean so hard it just had to break the skin your giving me a tattoo not drawing blood",I hiss swatting his hand back from the pain,
"Will you relax I know what I'm doing, I did like five for the Asshole that lives with me",Tommy said jabbing me with the home made tattoo needle, which was literally a sewing needle taped to the end of a pencil.

"Yeah, well if you fuck it up I'll end you",I threaten clenching my teeth at the feeling of the needle going too far,
"Yeah, Yeah",He replied dipping it into the jar of tattoo ink I had stolen from a guy down town.
"Are you crazy?Woody is going to walk in here and kill both of you",Davey states flinching every time he sees the needle break skin,
"It's a bit late to talk me out of it Armstrong don't you think?",I roll my eyes at the adolescent boy that sat across from me.

"Davey is right he's going blow shit",Curtis agreed watching closely,
"He'll get over it now shut up your making me fuck up the 'N' ",Tommy or as we call him,Eats,
"No,your doing that all on your own",I criticize his work on my fore-arm,
"What does it mean?",Davey pointed to the black ink that had now seeped deep into my skin,
"It's a poem, It just means I don't want to die a boring death, you kind of have to read it to understand it",I groan feeling the throbbing in my arm increase.

"It's Bullshit",Tommy says from beside me,
"Shut up Eats, just because poetry is too complex for that little spec replacing where your brain should be",I look down to see he's finished it,
"Oh thank god",I sigh pulling my sleeve down,

"The Mersey Sound 1967, it's a classic",I spat earning a laugh from the three,

"Come on man, what are we gonna do for the rest of the Summer? I'm running out of ideas",I look around at the three just to be interrupted by my brother coming into the treehouse.
"Yo, Woods",I greet as he sits down,
"Rob a bank",Tommy Suggested,
"Easier said than done",Curtis shuts down the idea,
"Your arms bleeding",Woody pointed the where the blood had seeped through my sleeves,
"Ah, Shit Eats I told you you went to far in",I complained earning a confused look from Woody,
"I've heard that before",He jokes making us roll our eyes, we'd heard them all before.

"What is it?",Woody asked looking across at my arm,
"He gave me a tattoo",I stared blankly waiting for him to implode,
"What the fuck?!",He yelled sending me through dementions,
"Christ what are you trying to send code to the space people, not so loud",I cover my ear,
"Moms gonna kill you, and then I'm gonna bring you back and kill you again, and then I'll kill you",He points from me and then to Tommy.
"And then I'll kill both of you for not stopping her"

"We tried but she was too far along",Davey shrugged earning a glare from Woody,
"Show me",I flipped my sleeve up to show him the 'masterpiece' piece of shit on my arm,
"Not that shit again",He groaned reading the words.
I laughed at his reaction knowing he hated poetry.

"Davey don't you have to deliver the papers?",I remind him, he jumped to his feet remembering a fleeing the treehouse.
"His mind is somewhere else"

"Stop quoting poems!",They yelled in sync,

"It's not a fucking poem"
