the tell

like the other hipsters in the cafe, I am wearing dark colors and I keep my head down.  headphones in my ears, my iphone on the table, I sit between two others and turn on my matching MacBook Pro.  we are triplets in equipment, attitude, and demeanor.  I am at home here.  I settle in, ready to get some serious writing done.  as I do, I knock the sleeve that protects my laptop and it falls to the floor, spilling out three copies of Juniper's unicorn coloring page in various states of polychromatic completion.  I see the sidelong glances of my neighbors as they consider the situation, wondering if I am so hip that this is my ironic, nod- to-childhood, hipster art.

no, it is not.
