NY3 / Oh such a prima donna sorry for myself

Something is wrong. Chain bookstores smell of seduction and
lobotomy. First World poverty being marketed as Third World
luxury. Those girls look and smell overwhelmingly like plastic
puff pastries; I forget where I am going. No one stops to listen
to the band with a bucket-bassist and ghungroo-percussionist.
My precarious envy-admiration balance is suddenly way off.
Snow is banal with sunlight and efficiency. No fruit all day.
No sign of bliss. Every sound an irritation except this:



Spicy noodles aren't spicy. I don't have a crush on anyone.
Laundromat's givin' me the weepies, and not the good kind.

In other words: look at this fuckin' hipster.
