Continued adventures in poetry.

Steampunks

You know, I'd like you
much more if you'd just wear your
goggles on your eyes.

Why can't you all just
wear trench coats and Doc Martens
like the other goths?

I gaze at you and ask;
is this what you wear when you
go to Taco Bell?

Victorian times
have long since faded to black.
So catch the fuck up.

Do you even have
an engineering degree
to stand behind you?

For all I can see
You're just a coat, top hat and
a stupid eyeglass

Why Victorian?
The Nightmare Before Christmas
hadn't been made yet.

How 'bout an era
where men have walked among stars.
Perhaps the present.

Or a time to come.
where ice cream is free and there's
no Jack the Ripper.

A final statement.
Just one last question before
I bid you adieu.

In the year nineteen
hundred, tell me would you still
look like an asshole?
