YOU GOTTA LOVE
YOU GOTTA LOVE SOMEBODY
I know that I go on about this But you
gotta love your hipsters Ted Hughes said
that all poets have their obsessional knots
and hipsters are one of mine Daniel Bergner (What Do Women Want?)
(what have you got?) calls his Brooklyn street: hipster-ridden
My hipsters are repeatedly & relentlessly
goddamned beautiful Take the young
Bardot lookalike across from me Open
bleeding cuts on her feet De rigueur bare in cobalt deck shoes
Skinnyjeans skinnyjacket hair dirty-rooty platinum
She fondles her bon bons lovingly ($24/doz)
Pale yellow minty green I imagine that when
very young she was already crying over humanity
