In today’s headlines: The daily millennial complains of increased apartments rents
whilst aligning carefully, his dysfunctional yellow bicycle
by the chipped paint thinner walls on his compound
This is in order create an illusion of aesthetic
but observe as he stalls, along his walk to the rent department
as to seem not too interested in the counter offer
because after all,
money is a social concept
He then proceeds to diverge
steering clear into the nearest Starbucks
as his “basic” radar goes off
sniffing the faint tinge of a chai latte in the air
He looks around in order to find more of his kind
but it seems as though the setting sun
has created a labyrinth of hues
which has now distracted the Vine cultured millennials
off their 6-second attention span
They proceed to whip out their iPhone 7’s
that weighs just as much as a pocket watch they could possibly be hiding
in their plaid pant pockets
in order to take an Instagram picture
of a half tilted take away cup in Valencia
Remember always, the millennial motto:
If you place your possessions by an aesthetically pleasing background
make sure to always double-check
that they are colour coordinated and bizarre
because why be rational when you can be irrational?
