Standing in line at the deli in my trendy office building
I saw, two people up, a hipster
Wearing one of those hats Che had
Telling his unattractive female friend
He had a connection at Apple
And could get one of those new Iphones
"As soon as humanly possibly, you know?!"
And I thought
I hoped
One day this same young man will be in a plane crash
But not die
Just be in a little twin engine deal over somewhere like the Canadian Rockies
And as his life turns into the "Call of the Wild"
or even just Alec Baldwin in "The Edge"
He might find his inner man
And realize
That Iphone that carries his address book and the entire collection of Badly Drawn Boy records
Will do little when a pack of wolves takes interest in his starving, dying, ass.
