Hairspray
any other John Waters Movie
300 murders
HIV
black janitor, white teacher
boys machete-carved into muggers, age 13
crime scene: a corpse, a gunned street chase
one block away. And your roommate, raped.
You know it's true what they say about this place,
but you live under this night-orange sky,
and walk the streets after the birds have stopped chirping.
The city breathes like a sleeping teen, you love it then,
and when summer hymns are sung to passers-by,
and when barking dogwoods remind you to live for beauty.
