Vampire in a Dirty City

by Shonali Bhowmik

I'm in the city and I'm living for me. I'm catching up with history. Is it dirtier here, or am I too clean? If he doesn't get you, then someone else will. If she doesn't stay, then someone else will. I'm a vampire in a dirty city, all dressed up and I feel pretty.
