lovable losers in film and tv,
who wear drooping cardigans
and read philosophy books.
AJ from Empire Records,
and Ben Affleck's character
in Chasing Amy,
both artists with big dumb hearts
and secretly in love
with a beautiful brunette.
What's his toes in
My So Called Life,
but most Ethan Hawke
in Reality Bites.
And here I am,
being all artsy and shit,
writing poetry,
wearing a cardigan,
listening to Mazzy Star,
embracing my circular nostalgic journey.
