Cajundome, Lafayette, LA

Cajundome

sports arena full of families, neighbors, and lovers tangled together in sleep

children crying, rap music blaring, worried faces

empty cots, sounds of sleep, flat air mattresses, blankets in disarray

gangsta juveniles. clustered together, whisper secrets of the hood

hidden identities, hidden weapons, hidden drugs

late night medical clinic visitors, shuffle to the desk awoken by pain

wide-eyed children watch the guards walk by
