Hipster

I dressed my core in flannel garb

Even though its 90 out

Shaded my eyes with thick rimmed, large framed Ray Bans

Because I can

I’m wearing skinny jeans

But I bought them before they were cool

There’s a hole in the knee where I was burned with a parliament at a poetry club

It didn’t hurt

I spell Vintage U-R-B-A-N

My shoes look like I pulled them out of Fred Astair’s closet

Because I did

I am too cool to care.

But do not call me a hipster.

It’s too mainstream.
