The Hipster’s Poem The class struggled to stay awake as Mr. Cassidy explained the poem it was relevant it was powerful it incited riots but not fifteen minutes before lunch five years ago he had given up reading the poem aloud unable to translate the passion the class stopped responding now they read the poem with the sanitized bio in Literature for all Ages then answer chapter summery questions when he first read the poem it was called, "A poem that revolutionized consciousness" he started wearing black sweaters getting laid felt alive but there was no revolution no matter how hard he hammered on the typewriter the only revolution was in art |
