Before I was sleeping

Here I lay eyes wide shut
A shiver brings warmth to my imagination

Igniting my minds eye I walk towards the unknown
Sheer delight for its pure fantasy

Come what may I’ll embrace thee
With knowledge that anything may lay ahead

Walk on, walk on, fly if so I desire

A mere vessel insignificant in my own creation
Just so the greater scheme of it all

Endless beauty within hands reach
All that is left is to open ones eyes

Open your eyes and embrace the possibilities
Reach your hands and caress life

Before entering eternal nothingness.

Ode de hipsterdom

Taking photos for Instagram using your iPhone and a filter

Wearing glasses sans lenses to maintain your enigma

Knitted sweaters, bow ties, collared shirts buttoned high

Curl your moustache, quiff your hair, slouchy beanies everywhere!

Too cool to care about what’s cool

Anti-mainstream is your fuel

Saying ‘Yeah…’ you nod and stare

Trending virus world beware!

Pabst Blue Ribbon in hand you never dance at a gig

ALWAYS first to know with judging eyes to deliver subtle digs

Adopt an ‘I hate hipsters’ t-shirt and bands before they form

Eco-friendly, bicycle rider, shopping at your local thrift store

Pride yourself on knowing all things off beat inclusive of things yet to exist

Congregate together & form new vocabulary for your click

Only watch independent & foreign film as blockbusters are such a bore

Especially watch nouvelle vague & film noir (J'adore!)

Wear your jean short cutoffs, plaid shirts & chuck taylors too

Vintage camera around your neck – spin that vinyl on the deck 

Beware the rise, yes world beware
The modern day hipster is everywhere!

Gone are the days of being recognized for being different

Rising armies have conformed through non-conformation

Walking contradictions they prescribe to irony not labels

And that my friends is a wrap on this hipster fable.
