TheBanyanTree: What Natalie Merchant CD are the Goth girls listening to tonight?

[David Seaman]

it’s bar-coded right there for all to see
all electronic eyes fall upon it
it’s all who I am
one line tracks the joyfulness of youth
another the painful struggles of adulthood
bars remain toward the end, distinguished in straight lines
a perfectly true processor rendered tattoo
that one, that’s the last line
the unwritten code
the initiation of the future
supposedly my funeral and the grief of good byes
but some of us scar bars with hot cigarette butts
so the future will hold no certainty
the disfigurement is dissidence
the last line is revolution
the scar is evolution
