Oh, Hipster Girls

Oh, Hipster girls.

Your short bangs and baggy sweaters,

would make me think you’d appreciate these Mac Demarco good looks,

but no.

You take selfies and giggle.

You’re just as foolish as me.

And though I’m a cynic,

I want, so badly, to take you seriously.

To see a future in something with which I have no present.

I just want to think that you’re not like everyone else.

That inside one of these salvation army coats, there’s someone who can melt this cluster of doubt

But, I won’t find out.

I can only sigh,

and re-run the things we could have said.

Knowing it’s on me for not making the move.

For not jumping into the water but rather dipping my toe…

And now,

watching quietly, as the music gets louder,

our voices are drowned in the vibration of love songs.
