You’re Not Cool Enough To Be In My Band
Popshot is a London-based magazine that showcases new writing alongside original illustration. Londonist recently highlighted one of those poems, by John Osbourne, titled ‘You’re Not Cool Enough To Be In My Band”. It’s good, but I really like the last verse.
“A man with Kate Moss cheekbones
told me to leave the Soho boutique
and never come back.
In newsagents
fashion magazines fling off the shelves
so they don’t have to be touched by me.
The landlord of our local spread his arms out wide
and said “sorry, you have to be ‘this cool’
to drink in here.”
So I’m going to bomb a gram of drum and bass
buy some good shoes
and stop texting people on their birthdays.”
