portrait of a WW2 vet...

twas in the pavilions "in the bank" as ~londn calls that hood. twas with chocolate girl.

hunting for chocolate. twas late.

and ... i saw this old guy replete with his wartime-navy-serving tatts.

i stalked him. chocolate girl thought it was cool. i know so many girls that would have said, "what the fuck are you doing?" and bolted. not choco.

i caught up with "him" in the bakery. i didn't even want anything in the bakery. the donuts looked especially good though.

he told me he was in ww2. in the navy. that's where he did all of his tatts. he said his tatts used to look much better when he was younger.

but ... i saw this guy as someone would have seen him in the forties.

i saw it in his eyes.

he thought chocolate girl was cute.

yes, i saw it in his eyes.

DON'T LEAVE YOUR FUCKING CAMERAS AT HOME.

trust me on this.
