I’m so Portland

my bike has a bike

it only takes out on weekends

I’m so Portland

this poem is in a free box

and comes with a ukelele

I’m so Portland

you can pickle it

but not until next week

because I’m on a raw juice cleanse

I’m so Portland

I wrote this poem 3 years ago

in my best friend’s basement

that was converted from a warehouse

and is now a farmer’s market

but you’ve probably never heard of it

I’m so Portland

I don’t actually live in Vancouver

or Beaverton

I’m so Portland

my bike’s bike has one handlebar

mustache

I’m so Portland

I brewed my own coffee

but I won’t drink it until it’s vintage

I’m so Portland

right now I am reading that new article about how to read articles

I’m so Portland

I work at

I’m so Portland

I just moved here from Tuscon

Denver

and Boise

I’m so Portland

this poem was filmed in French

and these are the subtitles
