reclamation amateurs

i see reclamation amateurs
waiting for me to insert the key
and pull on the door
so they can stuff cheap thongs
in their even cheaper point-value
bags, scenester bags.
bags under their eyes;
have local sixteen year olds
already been introduced to coke?
pacing anxiously whilst wiping the nose.
their five finger discounts are almost
as cheap as pseudo intellectuals
thumbing through the philosophy section
in barnes and noble.
some people should just stick
with drinking starbucks,
and leave thinking to the qualified.

  1. It is quite wonderful to see that I’m not the only one a bit fed up with seeing the pseudo intellectuals acting out the part. I’ve always seen Starbucks as the “status symbol” drink, I suppose that’s why I never drink it? That as well as the fact that the coffee just has a horrible effect on me? I’ll stick with my home brewed Maxwell House, thanks.

    Great poem, also fell in love with the line “pacing anxiously whilst wiping the nose.” Good work.
