Tattoo – by Ted Kooser

What once was meant to be a statement—

a dripping dagger held in the fist

of a shuddering heart—is now just a bruise

on a bony old shoulder, the spot

where vanity once punched him hard

and the ache lingered on. He looks like

someone you had to reckon with,

strong as a stallion, fast and ornery,

but on this chilly morning, as he walks

between the tables at a yard sale

with the sleeves of his tight black T-shirt

rolled up to show us who he was,

he is only another old man, picking up

 broken tools and putting them back,

his heart gone soft and blue with stories.

(2) Decide on one SEL area you want to incorporate into your course design. Elaborate on your understanding of the area, and why it matters to you.
