"hipsters" poems
Blessed are we all to live in a time when the love of Craft beer exceeds that for wine. Hops, malt and barley all now rule the day When brewed up together in a nice I.P.A. Who cares if some hipsters choose to babble away about hints of oak in some obscure Chardonnay. We are no longer limited to our father’s Budweiser. The vast choice of beers would astound those old timers! Cherry Wheat, pumpkin, and Oktoberfest You’ll fall down on your face ere you’ve tried all the rest. As Ben Franklin stated wittily and succinctly” “Beer is the proof God meant man to be happy.”

The Golden Age of Beer
Why is it so cool to hate on a group for their fashion sense? Or that they like to be off the mainstream? You are doing the same thing that people were doing to the grunge goths punks hippies beatniks flappers and they all did something with their counterculture. Ever think that ours is the hipsters? Not really, they've been around since *The *** Pistols* actually they started them. They made it cool to go to a thrift store and buy things out of comfort then rip it up change it so it looked brand new. Punk that made Hipsters. But now they are just some fad that people hate on. Just because they like to talk about indie bands knowing them first wearing band tee's of bands they listen too wearing vintage and retro clothing likes reading being in a cafe organic food vegan. Stereotyping a group is all people did. Now I can't wear things or do things because some *** hole is going to say **"Ha you're such a ******* hipster!"** Why don't we stop hating people on what they wear because how do you expect to get past racism homophobia sexism ableism fatphobia transphobia prejudice if we can't even get past how people dress?

Hipsters
I come from New Orleans where the swingers hook up with the singers, and the boxes have a person inside who speak to you through a thick horizontal slot in the door. You come from Minnesota where the most aggressive sentence is “Hi, how are you” and you’ve attended church every Sunday of your life, even though you don’t really believe in god. We came to the West to skate with the surfer junkies. But then the harbors got bombed and we moved out East to see the hipsters and the artists beggin on the streets. We went to the South with the racists and bigots were dying for a good show. We moved up North to escape from the 70s, and with the 80s on the rise we figured we’d best stay away. The 70s were rockin’ with **** and LSD in parks and concerts, and on benches on the streets. The smoke in the air was everywhere, from the slums in Wisconsin to the cities of Dallas. Even the poor were lost in the haze. When the 80s arrived with Rock ‘n’ Roll and techno beats from windowsills upstairs. The music was groovin’ and the ladies were fine. We saw billboards of our names in neon orange lights. The *** was replaced by coke, and the LSD with ****** singing and swinging with delight in our eyes. When the AIDS broke out we were sick in our beds listening to Pink Floyd and Elton John, and still we were singing. The 70s got us high while the 80s made us die We lived through wars in Vietnam, and Korea; we fought back the communists with red ink on our hands. We broke down the door into China and got them to arrive in the present and join the world. Although their chairman sits on a chair of lies he leads them with an angry fist in the air pumping “three cheers for Mao”. “Three cheers for Mao”. When the Soviets launched themselves to the moon we responded with our money and flashed our shiny new machinery in their faces. We marked our territory and claimed triumphantly that “We’re the best”. And we launched our war nukes and pinned them into intimidation. Then the Cubans sought revenge for the death of the Pigs on their Bay. With rifles in hand we stormed the beach and unearthed Castro and his regime. With our beds soaked in blood, and our dreams covered with fog, hand in hand we lay. We recalled the dances in the backs of old Cafes where the passwords were as simple as three quick knocks and two slow ones. We remembered the guns that pierced the heavenly chorus for the negros in the south. And we thought about the music of the 70s and the death in the 80s and I thought about you for a minute more.

Leaves crumble under unwashed trainers; silence He walks along the avenue with hands in pockets, As street lamps pave the way along the lonely avenue A Hen Party is sighted; their noisy presence noticed Out of nowhere a taxi rolls up, a casualty is claimed He gazes at the midnight stars and smiles Like a fantasy; a big bubble that hasn’t yet burst Conversing and gentle laughter picks up at the street corner, Whilst crowds of hipsters and young people dance and discuss As Friday nights go; rules are meant to be broken As this quaint little place provides an escape from it all With its neon signs and hippy vibes, Its bonsai trees and chandeliers Bikes hang from the walls and flower pots roam free He is greeted by an Ola! and a welcoming smile A piano sounds from within, a cold breeze chills his neck He rolls up his collar and enters; silence

Atari clouds are digital ziggurats, and rather minimal at that. The sounds are Amiga. Welcome to the eighties. Your hair is big, your clothes are odd, and Nagel is a minor god. Welcome to the eighties. There is a plague and ACT UP's rage, but Reagan will not act his age. For six years, he will say nothing. Generation X gives birth to Y, future hipsters to vilify. All music is vinyl or cassette. Rocks stars still wear epaulets. There are two Coreys, podded peas. Terrorists stay overseas. Boy bands aren't quite yet in vogue. Menudo carries a heavy load. Ricky Martin is still straight. Cimino ***** with Heaven's Gate. Cindy Sherman is everyone. Johnny Hinckley got his gun. Welcome to the eighties.

Our bare, brief escape begins at the dance. Steaming, smoking animals moving chance that this ***** dancehall can yield loving. Drug crazed pickers rev up their machined Six string-ed orchestral Gibson guitars; Yow! All the hipsters are making the scene just now arrived in their late models cars. Adults aping adolescents boldy down drinks, belch bad beer and sweetly perspire while you seething, hot and so sensuous put my hand to your breast showing your fire. Baby let's dance! Let's have our fun!! Our brief escape has just begun.

I Like Jazz
Passing through mid-century these jazz oneironauts reached Apollonian heights while society drifted into Dionysian drunkenness the merchants caught on too soon The most beautiful parts of humanity enamored to serve the ugliest: The merchant class, the bourgeoisie Buddha’s undeserving in charge If only in past centuries those noble princesses embraced even more lowly patronages all this potential today could be staved off Saved from the drive to be commodified People stopped buying jazz as it reached its height No more smiles to appease the whites Jazz for the few the noble, the individual in the know Until this too becomes the simulacrum The Ornette Coleman on the bookshelf to signify your snootiness your refinement from wealth Aging Dads in thousand dollar sweaters kicking out their 22 year old kids for being ****** addled hipsters meanwhile Bird on Verve is nodding out and Dad’s girlfriend pops a Percocet to deal with all the stress

Overfull on Past Overflow
I didn't sleep again last night my yesterday is still taking place as my fingers gently press these keys so as to not wake my brother restless, I realized, I've seen a sunset but never a sunrise the streets were still asleep the only ones about only the down and out the poor black folk the aimless hipsters the homeless the single mothers with three jobs who wait alone under a flickering street light for the bus which will take them to their deadpan jobs the puddles from last night's storm rest with not a ripple and the pretty little birdies start finding their voice restless, I realized, after the sunsets the world opens up her eyes periwinkle horizons blend easily with the grey skyline and the line between man and God blurs the sky is tropical mango cocktails and pillows of white Caribbean sand the smell is left - like a residue - chasing after the tail of a storm but the air is wet to the touch hinting at repeat of the downpour and I would've sat on the arm of that denim sofa hour after hour until the world was ready to wake up giving me a chance to sleep off their insecurities, only, I felt like writing this poem only, I felt like a sunrise or maybe a sunset? or just maybe a god **** supernova I felt good brimming with peace in my gut like a warm fire restless, I realized, that after all is set I will still love the sunrise

Sunrise over downtown Richmond
Knobby knees and coffee shops Have been married since before time Was. Hipsters with their progressive politics And symbolic lyrics and Witty banter Deem themselves worthy of macchiatos On Tuesday mornings. And the tiny tables creak with Liberal arts degrees and sugar and Cream. Tibetan prayer flags slip out of pockets Onto a floor scuffed by Converse And bare, raw feet. And if you, too need salvation in the form Of caffeine and dreams, Come on in- Even if your hair is straight and perhaps You don’t have a clue About ethnocentric ideas of beauty- Open the door, order your addiction, Sink in. Your knobby knees will fit just right.

Knobby Knees and Coffee Shops
Reese’s Pieces are for people who Are used to picking up the pieces Of broken hearts But they still want to make it A good experience Smiles that look like peanut butter And kisses that taste like chocolate Butterfingers are for the kids who Are used to being picked last for Everything except to cheat off of In math class They’ve grown accustomed to Not being thought of Popular kids like the M&Ms; Because in the end What else do they have except For the stories of muses And the parties they attended One-by-one they picked apart Everyone who didn’t act just like them Pop Rocks are terrible and So are Peppermint Patties Crunch bars and 100 Grand’s Made the jocks think they would actually Go somewhere and do something With their lives Hope comes in strange forms Monkeys don’t know the difference Kit-Kats are for the hipsters Talking a little too loud about mustaches Listening to music that nobody knew Grouping around vegan lunch tables They would break off one by one When another clique accepted them Anything made by ***** Wonka Was a favorite of the kids who Knew who they were and Weren’t ashamed After all, what does candy say About any of us Clothes and shoes Were only disguises To hide us from the world we Desperately wanted to fit into If you had a Five Star notebook Started mattering a lifetime too soon When I step into the convenience store I picture the kids that I know Because of the candy they ate I regret having such a sweet tooth To pick apart kids’ lives With nothing to satisfy the bitter After-taste of social humiliation

avenue sounds are never agreeable, ignore the drift, ignore the hum, ignore the suburban neophytes in the city lights (I never did care much for hipsters). ignore rapid eye movements, the flush red face, ignore the snapshots of you that adorn my semi-sleep state I stare at my ceiling and see the cobblestone summer streets you once graced, long ago in the eternal occident, I want to ignore but I’m so very boozed, in a blue lucid slumber::: eyes closed::: my head spins and sleep begins with the tidal delirium of dopamine drips, your legs, your hips, I’m drowning a bit, doused in a sanguine sweat inside a fantasy **** I’m dreaming of you**) Synaptic friction she is a pleasant fiction   flash/sparks segue a dormant memory , the two of us riding familiar highways::: she gazes at me with her usual emerald encased ocular torment, those limbal rings cast aspersions at the last vestiges of my will power, until, I’m done, done in by the divinity of her lips::: There is no end to (your) energy It even finds me here::: in my dystopian  dream (eternal) now an inescapable, **myopic curse (nocturnal)**::: the nightmare of not having you near Awake, I roll over to clutch for the pacifier of your comfort (violent midnight) I find only a fragrance, i flail, searching, when those flashbacks fall short isolated into the banality of bedsheets and pillows pleats (the retrograde nature of my reality, now readily apparent) cdh

Philadelphia Night (Europa Celluloid)
Sitting in a bar. A beer with perspiration. Its raining outside. Hear the shuffleboard shuffle. Intoxicated poetics. Sober state of mind. Stools shrouded in mystery. Double doors leading in. Bartender’s creations. (chemical concoctions) Saloon of slumlords and hipsters Open mic night. Hippie Howls. Don’t worry we got this under control. Malboro reds, cowboy killers. Don’t spend you life wishing, Spend it living. Better yet, spend it drinking. Liquid courage. (men becoming beasts) Awkward rages. The best is coming. Shielding secret shame in this scene. Hidden in a pint of pilsner. Free thinkers in a haze of hops. Lets get drunk. Make shift graveyards on the walls. Honoring the dead. Rest in peace. Nothing less, nothing more. Old Heidelberg. Before my time. The stalls scrawled with graffiti. For a good time call. Scratched onto the stall. “Spread love like butter on a hot bun” Sherlock and Watson. Bromance. This is a bar of friends. What is this bar? Drunk off this atmosphere. Window panes with neon signs. Disillusioned. Concealed. Unfinished. The moves fast and goes right by. Springing forward without a shadow of a doubt. Members of the Great Unwashed. The signs of our time. I think we’re going to split. Can I get another drink? One for the road. Don’t cut me off quite yet.

Drunken Memories
Monroe Ave c. 2018, in my own dream land. K. Daniel's Revelation, cannot reverse what's starting to happen. Darker, more forlorn. No more bar and restaurant patrons, the streets are just a scattered herd of pestilence. No cars, the somnambules own the streets in silence. Honey dripping hipsters, years gone. ***** clothes, hair past their pearls. Asking for boy, asking for O.P.s, asking for girl, asking for crack, asking for methamphetamines. The only noise. We lost the reclamation of the city our parents left. Escaping dead end cul-de-sacs of basement poverty, we no longer had to drive. Stacked with our friends in tenement commune. We delivered the body we consume in service, catering to a more privileged few. Only responsible for one when long work was done, I ensured my red blood's full of fun. We drank and inebriated with design when allowed more free time. But, darling, I think this town was already gentrified. We changed no thing.

It Didn't Even Feel like a Nightmare
Trophies for last place, And a Holiday for every weekend. A taste of this and that... OF Italy and Ireland and Asia and Germany and every township in the county, and 3 collective Miles of Portable Toilets, Strategically Positioned throughout each event. cause there is going to be a Lot of **** Hooray for whatever we are celebrating this weekend. Whichever one of the 30 different Woodstocks Or week long Music Festivals That exist only so the Hippest of Hipsters can congratulate each other on how Indie they are. Ya know, it's happy hour somewhere... Why not party All Day, Everyday? Devalue the weekend Like we have thanksgiving And New Years. A Five Kay For the Common Cold, And We'll even give trophies for last place. Cause we're all winners here. and we're all hungry. And What represents your heritage better than Pizza or sauerkraut or General Tso's And endless flowing barrels of refreshing, Ice cold, Domestically brewed and Nationally brand recognized Alcoholic Beverages? IT's The Great Dumb Down, Charlie Brown!!! A symptom of the Universe If there ever was one. Mass anesthesia to keep us all content With our collective mediocrities, our Forfeit Potential, Our Day Job that doesn't pay very well, But kind has benefits. So we stay on. In fear of nothing better. It makes feel important. Like Wheel of Fortune makes us feel smart. (Wow, you can spell?!)... Dwindling returns in a world of Beige and Pastels And the Muted Grays of limestone concrete. We Accept less and we Get less and we accept less and we Get less And On And on and on, till we hit that lowest common cultural denominator, where your race is what food you eat, And we all qualify for the special Olympics.

Your embarrassed skin obscures my vision Until I take off my glasses, always in the way, Everything works around a pinkish hue; All in my sight clamors for a chance, too, to kiss you. We navigate the crowds of cool hipsters Smoking away their silhouettes; we're invited Only 'til breakfast, then we've got to go.

Pay extra to ensure your precious, needed, ethical Organic Whole Foods and then don't even bother to recycle the paper containers. And you're the one to get indignant? Nice.
