Ode to the Hoodie

Grey or black you cover the face
downcast, pimpled, angry...
Crying what are you looking at?

I guess you might have had a cornered life
trapped in the council estate with your
13 year old mum
Or maybe its drugs, gangs, violence
A modern teenage affliction

But when you fight and swear,
and fight and swear,
mimic my accent,
throw paper at my head,
give me a false name,
and run out of the classroom
I don't really care about the
estate or the pimples

I just see the hoodie
angry, angry, angry.
