The Original Hipster (I Saw Jesus, Part 5)


I saw Jesus again
(the guy is everywhere).

It was after a gig
as I walked alone
down an empty street

I looked up and saw a glowing light
from a window and there he was
sitting on the couch 
of his studio apartment 
with his girlfriend

their faces shining in the light
of their individual laptops
as the room glowed blue
from a television show
no one was watching

and I wondered what he does
to afford the rent in this town
and I must admit

I was disappointed 
to see him 
wearing a flannel shirt
in September.
