麻豆约拍

Earlier in the week, Shaun and Matt spoke on their love of the ever cool Portland, Oregon which inspired our resident poet Murray Lachlan Young's 'Hipster Thinking' poem.

Hipster thinking

Are you a hipster?
Are you a hipster?
Or does that very question
fill your being
with horror and dread?

Do they call you a hipster?
When YOU actually-
look DOWN on hipsters
And see them as fools
Oh so easily lead

By their tragic desperation
to conform to the normcore
To keep with the pack
and to not fall behind

In the pitiful pursuit
of novel authenticity
That rides a penny farthing
Through societies mind

Whilst clinging to the claim
Of social superiority
Whilst offering the properties
of shifting sands

But you are you riddle
rapped deep in an enigma?
And they are just
Middle class arts graduates
with too much time on their hands

And when they鈥檝e finish
playing hipsters
and grown up and got married
and returned to discreet consumption
of capitalist waste

You will still be standing
As a bohemian monolith
And undoubted Aristocrat
of style and taste?

Still serving coffee
To people you despise
Being edgy and obtuse
Wearing baffling clothes

Three steps ahead
and one step behind
blow-torching halloumi
With a bone through your nose
