"Today I don't need a replacement. I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant."- Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill


Zoe wears glasses, but they’re just for show
Shopping at thrift stores is her life’s passion
Her scarf collection continues to grow
And she wears berets in school for fashion
Her iPod is filled with indie rock songs
By Mountain Goats and St. Vincent and Eels
When asked, she’ll say they’ve been around for long
But she liked them before they were cool
Zoe doesn’t eat meat, but she enjoys
Sushi along with her kale and tofu
She drinks vitamin water and milk of soy
With her healthy lifestyle one can’t argue
Zoe abhors anything popular
She reads beat lit and Sylvia Plath
Sometimes Zoe’s called a stuck-up hipster
By people who just know her aftermath.

My English teacher assigned us to write a Canterbury Tales-esque poem making fun of a modern day stereotype. So I wrote about hipsters.
