Ugh. Bobby Steele, this one, was not a punk rocker. He was a man who showed up in my town tattooed from head to foot. I see there is another Bobby Steele. Maybe the epigraph is a bad move. My initial title was Death of Tattoo Man... I didn't like it, because it's not about his death per se.
I kind of hate when the Googling gets in the way of experiencing the poem. I think the simple answer is to change the epigraph to In Memoriam, which I have done.
Given my record on spelling, your initial thought was not a bad one, John ~,:^)
