We
dreamdancechildren
find our black jackets
at the same store
but what matters is
who pays the most
consumeristpridebysacrifice.
We hide behind
hipsterslangjargonsongs
proud of that which we
cannot share--
indieelitistsnobs.
And we are all illusions
paintedbillboardwomen
selling our bodies for little
and our souls for less.
I
ashedlippedoblivious
drymartinicool
sit with my arms crossed
unimpressed and stranded
on this desolate island of
images--
we know what we want
andweknowhowtogetit.
