JG: Rabble & Holiday Spirit.

so everyone here is apparently good at this poetry thing, so i tried. here's a made up poem* about yelling at a hipster who had a booger hanging from his nose.

*disclaimer: i don't know anything about meter or rhythm or what a quatrain is or any of that poetic jargon, so it may not be a very well formed poem, but here goes....

Dear Hipster, I Know You Know Almost Everything Because You Go To NYU, But I Bet You Don’t Realize That All of us Are Laughing at the Booger Hanging From Your Nose... Sincerely, The Goonies

Ha! You’re clueless

I can’t believe it

You’re really fucking clueless

Some nasal excrement

Just hanging there

Only a smidgen away from your non-prescription plastics

As you so confidently wax grandiloquently

About Obama or chai lattes or something or other

And how you abhor our skylarking and you make some

Claim how you’ve mentally surpassed music

While your old friends

Sit and snicker at you

I hope it dribbles down and stains your fucking Joan of Arc top,

Cause Ernesto Guevara was last year’s t-shirt martyr

Ha! No way! It actually just wiggled!

Just as you started to

Squawk at our beer cans and enlighten us that

You eschew from petty grog because

Cocaine is the only real high...

It totally wiggled!

I could tell you about the drivel, I guess

It’d be nice to perform

A beau geste for the beau monde

But it’s hard to interrupt your thesis

That American film as we know it is dead and

The last gasp of cinematic adventure

Lies in the hands of French directors

So dramatically drape your scarf around your nape

And begone with your prim gait

You pseudo-bohemian wannabe – walk away

While your old friends

Sit and snicker at you

I hope it’s fun to look down on us

Cause upward we laugh at the sight of a fool

Ha! You really are fucking clueless.
