It really epitomizes the typical young artist. I'm trying to mix up the content a bit, you know, a little more art and music to balance all of the food. That being said, here is the poem:
On the street
passing men on their lunch break
I overhear their chatter
of quotas and uploads and downturns
Such insignificant things to my ears
I, who am on my way to caffeination
and living a Hemingway-an life
caught in a limbo world
between coffee shops and wine bars
A struggling artist with all the struggle
and not much art
Existing on a plane of espresso-induced epiphanies and euphorias
And I wonder:
who is right?
which of us is living the better life?
