[theme music]
[SINGING] We never thought we'd
find a place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone.
We'll never let you fall.
Don't need permission to decide what you believe.
I said jump down on Jump Street.
Your friends will be there when your back is to the wall.
You'll find you'll need us 'cause
there's no one else to call.
When it was hopeless, a decision's what you need.
You better be ready to-- be ready to jump!
21 Jump Street.
OK, everybody.
All right, everybody, settle down.
Take your seats.
Let's go.
Move.
I'm Gordon Brooks.
I'm your new principal.
I've been here for three hours.
I've seen drugs, fighting, prostitution,
enough graffiti to fill a book.
I see no one going to college.
I see a dropout rate of over 50%.
Three days ago, a fellow student, Janet Johnson,
was killed in a drive-by shooting
right in front of the school.
That's when the school board said enough.
And they called me in.
Us too.
Look, kids, my rules are simple.
You'll get to school every morning on time.
You'll start each day by pledging
allegiance to the flag.
No drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no violence.
When you change class, you'll do it in an orderly manner.
Now do we understand each other?
Is that clear?
Good.
Let's all get to work, OK?
[music playing]
Hey, what's happening?
Hey, killer party last night.
Hey, man.
What's going on?
Is this seat taken?
Well, it is now.
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Can I have your attention, please?
I have a brief announcement.
STUDENTS: Oh.
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Starting tomorrow,
I'm instituting a dress code here at Belmont High.
STUDENT: Oh, come on.
That won't work.
[laughing]
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Colors will be forbidden on campus.
Bandanas, scarves, or any articles
of clothing indicating membership in a gang
will not be permitted.
[chanting]
Shut up.
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: In addition, any clothing
of a violent nature will also be outlawed.
No spikes, no studs, no metal of any kind on leather jackets.
No way.
MR. BROOKS: No chain belts, no excessive metal on boots,
and no steel-toed shoes of any kind.
[chanting]
As for the women, all outfits will be in good taste.
[shouting]
You all know what that means.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation
in making Belmont High a safer environment.
[indistinct chatter]
[fire alarm ringing]
[shouting]
[hip hop music playing]
No studs.
Get rid of them, now.
[hip hop music playing]
Wait a minute.
Where are you guys going?
School, man.
What are you guys, deaf?
I said no colors.
Let's go.
Give me the bandanas.
Move!
BENNY: Excuse me.
Excuse me, coming through.
Excuse me.
Ooh.
Woof, woof.
I believe I have reservations. Benny Brown.
[clapping]
Hey, all right.
A question is worth 10 points.
The Gatsby game continues with this question.
Where are Tom and Nick going when Nick meets Tom's mistress?
Diane? - New York.
TEACHER: Yes.
[clapping]
All right, 20 points.
You get the symbol card.
What do they encounter on the way?
The green light?
[making buzzer sound]
Bo?
The billboard?
That's absolutely correct.
Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's billboard.
What's behind the billboard?
That valley.
[laughter]
The valley of ashes.
I need five.
Give it up.
[clapping]
OK.
30 bonus points--
Pressure, OK?
What's the symbol stand for?
Duhyee duh!
[laughter]
The moral despair of the rich.
Whoa, new girl.
Sounds like we got a player though.
Ooh.
What does she mean?
[making buzzer sound]
Well, Tom and Daisy get their power from money.
What they don't realize is that their lives are built on using
up people and using up things.
And when they're done, they just throw
the used bodies on a trash heap and cover it with a picture.
All right, sounds like we got a scholar here.
[cheering]
Teddy, I haven't even ask a question yet.
I got to go, Mr. Bosley.
Sure.
But you need a hall pass.
Ah, does he get one?
Let's turn to our studio audience.
Yay?
Yay!
- Nays? - Nay.
[laughter]
That's cold, man.
It's a quarter pass.
Just trying to save his ass.
Oh, that's right, Mr. Brooks's new rule
that no one can relieve themselves 10 minutes
after class has started.
I didn't have to go then.
Go now.
[cheering]
OK, next question.
Let's go.
[music playing]
[car engine starts]
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Attention all students.
The school board is now offering a $1,000 reward
for any information leading to the arrest
of the drive-by killer of Janet Johnson.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you of how important this is.
Janet was a classmate, she was a cheerleader,
and she was a vital member of the spirit of this school.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Ready, OK.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Go, go, go, go, get them.
Get them.
Ooh, ah.
Very good, girls.
Miss--
Miss Jefferson.
You're on the squad at Lincoln?
I was for a while. [laughter]
I got suspended three times.
[laughter]
Stripped of my pom poms.
It wasn't a pretty sight.
MR. BROOKS: Miss Jackson?
Can I see you a moment?
Girls, excuse me one sec.
What does he want now?
[inaudible conversation]
We're moving into the gym.
What?
It's 110 degrees in there.
I know.
Then why do we have to move?
This has just been declared an off-limit zone because Mr.
Brooks' car was vandalized here.
Apparently there are other off-limit zones on the way.
Come on, ladies.
It's hot in there.
It's ridiculous.
[clattering]
[shouting]
Get over here.
[shouts]
[coughs]
You all right, son?
Yeah.
You get to the nurse.
What's your name?
Doug Wilson.
You be in my office, 8:30 tomorrow morning.
[music playing]
[buzzer]
MR. BROOKS: Yes?
SECRETARY: Doug Wilson's here.
Send him in please.
Hi, Doug.
Thanks for waiting.
Have a seat.
Uh, am I in trouble?
Why do you ask that?
Was there something you did I should know about?
I'll take the fifth on that.
Good.
I guess you figure a lot of kids come
into the principal's office when they've done something wrong.
Well, that seems to be the pattern.
However, in your case, you've done something right.
You've realized that there's a bad element in this school,
which is only an obstacle to those who want
and deserve a good education.
Excuse me, are we talking about the fight?
You took a stand against those losers, Doug.
You did what a lot of kids would like to do but were afraid to.
I've been thinking of forming a team of safety monitors.
You mean out of kids?
Yes, kids like you, ones who want to take a stand.
You'd walk the school during study hall,
and well, look for things that are wrong.
Sounds like a good idea.
You don't think it'll work?
Well, I mean, who's going to do this, honor roll kids?
They'll get the curriculum beat out of them.
I know you want the best education we can provide.
Yeah, sure, but--
You'd be surprised how many students
want the same things you do, even some of the tougher kids.
Look, Doug, I want you in charge of this team.
You want me to be, like, head hall monitor?
Safety monitor.
If I can get the other kids to agree, will you take the job?
Well, you know, Mr. Brooks, I--
I know you won't disappoint me.
We'll make the school work, Mr. Wilson.
So although this school has an outstanding athletic program
from which most of the students have gone on to excel
at the college and even professional level--
and we know most of you are working toward those goals--
we have faltered, lost our game plan
in other areas that make school a successful place
for everyone.
I'm sorry, guys.
We're going to have to pull the plug.
Oh.
I know it doesn't seem fair that a bunch of bad apples
are spoiling--
Ain't there anything we can do, Mr. Brooks?
[chattering]
Well, the idea of safety monitors has been suggested,
but that's totally up to you guys.
[chattering]
[bell ringing]
That's Neil. That was Janet's boyfriend.
Neil, how are you?
I'm OK.
Neil, this is Judy.
Hey.
Hi.
I heard about your girlfriend.
I'm real sorry.
Thanks.
Neil was just right there when it happened.
I'm sorry.
Look, Neil, I just really want you to know
that I really miss Janet.
Just leave me alone.
[bell ringing]
Gotta go.
I'll catch up with you.
Hey, hey.
You looking at getting at Neil, you just blew it.
What's that supposed to mean?
Meaning he's only interested in customers.
So maybe I'm a customer.
You got anything?
I'm not into that stuff.
Oh, yeah, you're just into pulling fire alarms.
You saw that?
Good eye.
Hey.
Look, you two ain't supposed to be in the hallway.
I'm not here, man, really.
I'm not here.
Hey, look, Benny, man.
You know the rules.
Dude, my class is right there.
If we're going to have a good learning environment,
we must follow the rules.
What do you think you're doing?
Giving you both detention.
TEACHER: You see, after all these silly rich people,
Nick suddenly realizes what this continent was
like when it was discovered.
Pioneers, who when they saw this fresh, green breast
of a new world, had the greatest of all human dreams.
Now 350 years ago, it was a paradise waiting to be created.
And instead, it became an engine of destruction
for those with money and power.
Mr. Bosley, do you think that Fitzgerald is saying
that America is a failure?
Never mind me, please.
Answer her question.
No.
For Fitzgerald and Gatsby, America's vision
of an ideal life that we can never make because human beings
are too fallible.
And Nick sees this.
And the failure breaks his heart.
But Mr. Bosley, I don't get it.
I mean, what this stuff got to do with us?
You see, the dreams that they had are our dreams too.
Now we've got to make that dream here.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you making it?
I don't know.
[laughter]
And I'll tell you why.
Because the guys that got here before us stole our damn dream.
They cut down the trees and they built mansions.
And they want us to be the housekeepers.
No lie.
You see, a dream is a river.
If you build a dam at the end of the flow,
the headwaters will stagnate.
Now the dam is racism.
What's stagnation?
Drugs.
Kids getting killed.
Selling yourself.
That's right.
And the waters will remain stagnant--
Mr. Bosley, may I speak with you for a moment?
What the hell are you doing?
I'm teaching my class.
You call that teaching?
What's your problem, the way I teach or what I'm teaching?
"The Great Gatsby--"
Is a classic of American literature.
Exactly.
Your job is not to interpret it, just teach it.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
MR. BROOKS: These kids don't need to hear
the American dream is dead.
MR. BOSLEY: These kids need living
dreams, ones they can believe in,
ones that'll lift them out of here.
[bell ringing]
MAN: He's right in there.
[dramatic music playing]
How's his pulse?
Not there.
Damn.
[dramatic music playing]
[air blowing]
Penhall, being in charge of the safety monitors
is as good as blowing your cover.
No choice.
Brooks labeled me a do-gooder.
No dealer's going to get near me.
Well, then drop out.
I was onto something until you put me in detention.
This way we can work it from both angles.
I'll take the jocks. You take the losers.
The losers?
Yeah, well that's what we call the rest of you guys.
Oh, I don't like what's happening.
What, with the investigation?
No, with everything.
Well, why don't you take a look around?
Brooks is making the school work.
It's not the same place it used to be when we first got here.
I think he's doing a good job.
And while we're here, we might as well
help him give these kids a chance to get out of this hole.
We're on a drive-by shooting.
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Good morning, Belmont High.
Here are today's announcements.
Mr. Baskin's AP English class are
having a one-day bake sale to raise
funds for the advanced placement tests.
Everyone is encouraged to chip in for this worthy cause.
It has been brought to my attention
that some of the students are smoking behind the library.
This is an area off limits, effective today.
I would like to add--
[static]
[upbeat music playing]
BENNY: Good morning, Belmont High.
[cheering]
This is The Joker with today's real announcement.
Today is Sid Vicious Day.
Remember, Sid died for your sins.
Tonight, the Drama Department debuts their new rendition
of "Bye Bye Birdie."
Get this, Coach Hayes plays the major.
[laughter]
Wait.
Big flash-- Stand up now!
Everybody stand up.
Do it!
Put your left foot in.
Put your left foot out.
Do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself about Hey,
what are you guys, sheep?
[baaing]
A herd of cows?
[mooing]
Physicals today.
Girls, report to The Joker.
Guys, just grab Mr. Brooks, turn to the wall,
and call as you pass.
This is The Joker.
That is all.
My generation came to school to learn.
OK, we also had fun, but we discovered "Romeo and Juliet,"
Einstein, Julius Caesar.
We didn't come to school to die on a cold tile floor.
I can't stand by.
We cannot allow this.
We all know that drugs were responsible for Neil's death,
and we know who the biggest dealers in the school are.
Do we have any proof who sold it to him?
The proof is in his locker.
Isn't that private?
No.
It belongs to the school.
And we can do what needs to be done, Doug.
We're saving lives.
Let's not let this thing go any further.
[music playing]
Open it.
Forget it.
You're in a lot of trouble, son.
Hey.
[music playing]
MR. BROOKS: Simmons, you're out of this school.
[bell ringing]
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America.
And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Apparently there are still people out there who believe
they can break the rules.
Four students were expelled yesterday
for smoking in restricted areas and defying the authority
of the safety monitors.
That brings to 72 the number of students
who have forfeited the privilege of coming to this school.
From now on, anyone caught in the hallway without a pass
will be expelled.
Anyone caught smoking on school property will be expelled.
And anyone not obeying a request by a safety monitor
will be expelled.
Please remember to observe proper hall
procedure by walking single file on the right-hand side
at all times.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation.
[bell ringing]
[indistinct chatter]
I'd watch where I aim those potatoes if I were you.
Hey, hey, pom pom girl.
Take Serge over there two minutes before he
even realize he's been hit.
By that time, I'm halfway to homeroom.
It's two demerits and detention for standing with your tray
in your hand, just a warning.
I'd never, never figured you for cheerleader.
You just don't like cheerleaders.
I heard what you said about Janet the other day.
Just stating facts.
That Janet was a dealer?
Look, it's not easy keeping up that school spirit
day after day, week after week.
A little chemical stimulation comes in very handy.
She have a lot of customers?
Why, you want to take over her business?
She ended up with a hole in her chest.
No thanks.
The drive-by had nothing to do with that.
How do you know?
Because it wouldn't be worth the price of the bullet
to shut down Janet.
She was strictly a pep squad supplier.
So why'd she get nailed?
Hey, I'm just curious.
Oh, all right, all right.
Maybe I was looking for a little score.
Forget that stuff.
You'll end up broke.
You'll ruin your looks.
And your brain'll turn to goop.
Plus, I got something better than dope.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Want to see?
All right, now leave the paint on the underrim,
not so much that they'll notice. - Oh, come on, Benny.
This is ridiculous.
What if someone catches us?
Girl, those teacher meetings last years.
Besides, think of Ludnick with a big white horseshoe over his--
[door opens]
Benny, what the hell are you doing?
Bo, Bo, I know what you're thinking, dude.
They're not good thoughts.
But I've got a very good explanation.
Man, you're the one who's been pulling all this bull lately?
All I've been doing is trying to show
the new administration how to lighten up a little,
give them a sense of humor.
Man, do you think Mr. Brooks is going to find this funny?
What about you?
Well, I--
See, that's why I'm counting on you, my man.
All right, we'll chalk this up to experience.
Consider it a warning.
Come on.
Dude, you can't turn us in.
Look, man, I have to, all right?
That maniac will skin us alive and hang us from the flagpole.
No, he won't. I'll talk to him.
Well, dude, he'll kick us out of school.
Bo, I'm the unofficial school mascot.
Without me, things would fall apart.
Come on, Benny, man.
Bo, I get booted, my dad'll kick the crap out of me.
And that's no bull.
All right, man, look.
If I catch you again, I'll be the one
hanging you from that flagpole.
Peace, man. - That's my man.
That's my man, Bo.
See ya.
Give me the paint.
TEACHER: Be good.
Take care.
Bye bye.
Douglas?
Yeah?
I notice you haven't been handing in your homework
the last few days.
Is everything OK?
Well, yeah, you know, I've just been a little busy.
I see.
Can I ask you a question?
What are you doing here?
I mean, what are you doing here at this school?
Just going to school.
You seem to be acting like a cop.
I mean, you're spending more time
putting your peers in jail than you are
concentrating on your studies.
Well, I'm a safety monitor Mr. Bosley.
In case you haven't noticed, these kids
need some straightening out.
These kids need to learn.
Mr. Brooks wants to make learning as
unpleasant a task as possible.
Unfortunately, kids don't learn that way.
You don't agree?
Well, I think for anything to work, you need a system,
you know, a set of ground rules.
Douglas, you're only seeing what you want to see.
Running a school with an iron fist is not the solution.
Leadership is wonderful, but don't follow
a man just because he's strong.
Are you aware of what happened to Mr. Ludnick
in the men's room yesterday?
Yes, sir.
Did you see it happen?
No, sir.
Don't lie to me.
You were responsible for patrolling that area.
You were overheard arguing with Benny Brown.
Now did he do it?
Yes, sir.
And you let him go?
Mr. Brooks, he's a friend of mine.
His dad would've killed him if he got thrown out of school.
And what's your dad going to do when you get kicked out?
What?
That little misjudgment just got you expelled, son.
I gave you strict orders.
You break my rules, you're gone.
But Mr. Brooks, it was just a joke.
That joke embarrassed a teacher in this school.
You undermine authority, that opens
the door to drugs and violence.
And that will not happen again in this school.
Clean your locker, and get out.
Your friend Benny will be joining you.
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: Attention all students and teachers.
I would like to remind you that refusing
to take today's drug test will constitute grounds
for expulsion or dismissal.
In addition, starting today, anyone late
for class, anyone failing to turn in their homework,
and anyone who talks back to a teacher
will be put on detention.
Three detentions mean automatic expulsion.
Teachers, remember that all classroom
progress reports will be on my desk every day by 4 o'clock.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation.
JUDY: Benny, what the hell are you doing?
Judy, check this out.
If Mr. Slater so much as lies another piece
of paper on this desk, it's going to totally fall apart.
JUDY: Are you crazy?
The safety monitors are all over this place looking for you.
BENNY: I don't worry about that stuff.
Look at this, nerves of steel.
Benny, you know who shot Janet Johnson, don't you?
You sure you don't want to help?
I got an extra screwdriver.
No, I'd like to know who shot Janet.
Why do you care?
Because if you don't tell me, you're going to jail.
You're a cop.
You're just like Brooks.
No, no.
Brooks goes after people because he likes to push them around.
I go after people who break the law.
You still put him in jail.
Benny, the girl was shot and killed.
She had her whole life in front of her, and now she's dead.
And I want to know who did it.
I want to know.
You already got the dude.
Brooks busted him the other day.
Tracy Simmons.
They cut the lock off his locker.
He was going after Neil.
He missed, and he hit his girlfriend.
All right, Benny, you did the right thing.
Thanks a lot.
[dramatic music playing]
Damn.
Hey, man.
Look at this.
Benny boy, we've been looking for you.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
I can-- I can explain.
It's, you know, it's a long story, but I--
come on, man.
Let me go.
Come on. - Hold it.
Hold him right there. - No.
No, no.
[shouting]
[dramatic music playing]
MR. BROOKS [ON PA]: This is the principal.
I want everybody's total attention now.
There will be a meeting of the entire faculty
and student body in the auditorium at the beginning
of third period.
There will be no exceptions, I repeat, no exceptions.
I don't care how good his intentions are.
What he's doing is wrong.
OK, he goes too far sometimes.
He's searching kids' lockers.
He's testing them for drugs.
This school was totally out of hand.
He had a right to do that stuff.
We have a constitution in this country that says he doesn't.
Well, these kids should know that getting an education
is a privilege.
If you abuse it, you lose it.
Education is not a privilege.
It's a right.
It's how you learn how to be citizens
and members of society.
But what do they learn here?
What do they learn in this craziness?
They learn how to be criminals.
Yeah, but if Brooks throws everyone out in the street
that he doesn't like, there's nothing left for them
but being a criminal.
All I know is that kids were getting hurt before,
and now they're not.
Oh, yeah, well that safety patrol of yours just
beat the crap out of Benny Brown for pulling a practical joke.
I had to take him to the hospital.
Is he OK?
He'll be fine.
Well, you can't blame Brooks for a couple hall
monitors getting out of line.
Well, they got out of line following his orders.
But Brooks--
Penhall, Brooks tells his goons,
do whatever you have to do.
What is that but a nicer way of saying
use violence if you have to?
Come on, Doug. Wake up.
I know it looks clean, but all he's doing
is sweeping the problems under the rug.
Where do you think these kids go that he kicks out of school?
They hang out on the street.
They turn to crime.
Your friend Bo, what do you think
he's been doing since Brooks decided
to make an example out of him?
Hey, Doug, what are you doing here, man?
Looking for you.
- You want to get high with us? - No, I don't want to get high.
I want to talk. Come here.
What are you getting high for?
Early vacation, man.
Early vacation.
Yeah.
You got a job?
Yeah, I'm checking on some things.
Checking on some things.
I thought you'd be in school by now.
I ain't no good at that stuff.
What are you going to do?
You know, they're hiring some people over at Rocket Dog.
I thought I might go over there.
Rocket Dog, yeah, sounds good.
Listen, if I could get you back at Belmont, would you go?
No, the man's down on me, man.
Forget about that stuff.
Would you go back or not?
I like it here.
This is great.
It's great.
You get high every day, maybe end
up making minimum wage for the rest of your life
at Rocket Dog.
Maybe even you could bust heads for dealers, huh?
That'd be some fun, some life.
This morning, I told the school board
that we have finally begun to make this an institution
of higher learning.
Then I came to school, and I found out
that I was woefully incorrect.
Some smart ass decided to paint a swastika on my school.
We are going to sit here, find out what student
painted that crap on my school.
[door opens]
[door slams]
What the hell do you mean by coming
in here late when I specifically said the beginning
of the third period?
You, I threw you out of here.
He wants to come back to school.
I don't give a damn what he wants.
He broke my rules. He's gone.
You're not helping anybody by throwing
them back out on the street.
He deserves-- he has the right to an education,
as do the kids you've already thrown out.
If you're the guy that painted that swastika--
MR. BOSLEY: Mr. Brooks.
You don't have to make your accusations anymore.
I did it.
You did?
Are you out of your mind?
I was out of my mind and let you turn this school
into a police state.
Maybe you forgot what this place was like before I came.
I was here.
I had every criminal there is.
They learned in my class.
How to rob, maim, shoot up.
They learned how to dream.
And all you can offer them now is searches, drug tests,
abusing teachers, and throwing them out in the street
just because they screw up.
I'm the principal.
They do what I say.
Well, I'm not.
And I just can't stand by.
So I nailed my protest on your door.
You think anyone's going to listen
to a coward who writes graffiti in the middle
of the night, huh?
MR. BOSLEY: I hope they do.
I hope every student and teacher hears me.
I hope the school board hears me and the mayor
hears me because you're wrong.
Look at you.
You're a disgrace.
I'm sensitive Mr. Bosley.
If you yell at me, I just might break down and cry.
You're too tough for me, Mr. Brooks.
I just want to sit in my room and read poetry all day.
Well, you know what your problem is, Bosley?
You've lost your will.
You're a weak, sniveling sissy.
Right.
And you're so afraid of your own weakness
that it scares you to death, and you have
to kill everything around it.
See, a dream is a river, Mr. Brooks.
And all you're doing is stopping the flow.
And one day, you're going to find
out that all your students and teachers have withered away.
I've heard enough of your poison.
You're fired.
No, this is my school.
And I'm not going to let you hurt these students anymore.
I said you're fired.
Tony, Alvin, throw him out.
I said throw them out, damn it.
Come on, throw him out.
What the hell are you doing?
Come on, the rest of you, throw them out of here.
Get rid of them.
BENNY: Hey, Brooks.
We're tired of you throwing us out of school one at a time.
Now you throw us all out because we're going on strike.
Yeah, that's right.
We're going on strike, bro, all of us.
[applause]
Yeah, we're going on strike, Brooks, all of us.
Once that school board gets rid of you, we're out of here.
You got nothing without us.
[applause]
What the hell are you doing?
Get back here.
[door slams]
MR. BOSLEY: And I got the results back from the test
from "The Great Gatsby."
Looks like you people did some studying.
I think we got us some scholars here.
And I have to make special mention of my man Bo here.
Got himself a B. Hey, I need five, my man.
All right.
Hey, studio audience.
You listen to me.
You keep studying like that, next time you're going
to get an A. Oh, wait a minute.
We had a poetry thing coming on here.
Oh.
Oh?
You people don't like poetry?
You use it every day.
Check this out.
Modern day poetry is what you do.
If Shakespeare can do it, so can you.
Growing in the ghetto is a serious task.
You got yearn to learn, or they'll take your--
Ass.
Yeah.
Hey, reminds me of a poem by T.S. Eliot,
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
"Let us go then, you and I, when the evening
is spread out against the sky.
Like a patient etherized upon a table,
let us go through certain half-deserted streets."
