Long in the Gold Tooth

I'm sitting at The Lucky Bicycle Cafe,
drawing hipsters I see in my notebook,
and they are cooler than me.

I wish I were cool,
but maybe I wish I were young.

In actuality, these figures drawn
aren't even of the Hipster Generation,
they are millennia's and much smart than me.

I wish I were smart,
but maybe I wish I were young.

I order a latte from the barista who is gorgeous,
but I notice this in a different way these days,
because of how young she looks and acts.

I wish I were gorgeous,
but maybe I wish I were young.

I am not old by any means, let's get that damn straight,
but I am almost old
and that is worse than actually being old.
