starbucks haiku
I.
here in the valley
the most popular fashion:
dress, leggings and boots.
II.
you’re fifty or five
it matters very little
the climate is boss.
III.
it’s not unfetching
jeans constrict you, people say
“hey I love your look.”
IV.
teenage backpackers,
a Nigel Barker stand-in,
these are outliers.
V.
oh shit, oh slip, what!
cops arresting a biker
what could he have done?
VI.
his bike: neon pink.
you can’t make it up: tassels,
ding-ding! he stole it —
VII.
somewhere a young girl
in tiny leggings, small dress
cries into her chai.
