Hipster Girl



Hipster Girl:

I had tea with a Hipster Girl once,
you know the type that bounces from
thrift shops to retro-boutiques
and declares she’s a “bit of a geek”
on her online dating profile page.

She raved about Kerouac like a high school student,
wanting to be on the road,
wanting to leave this town,
and go on an adventure,
and I asked…
“Why couldn’t we my angel headed hipster?”

I referenced more from Ginsberg,
planning our route based on great American literature.
But she seemed uninterested in Ginsberg, Cassidy(s), and Thompson,
when I didn’t reference them by their aliases in her favourite book.
Instead, she moved the chair back more and took a photo,
hashtag on instagram,
#OrganicTeaDate.
