As AIDS Turns 30, Scientists Reminisce
http://www.npr.org/2011/06/05/136972454/as-aids-turns-30-scientists-reminisce

Skeletons line the sidewalk
Beautiful, wasted men
Bruises blossoming on thin arms

Young men with strange sarcoma
Speckling skin like berries or blood
Mystifying doctors
Local news thick with obituaries
Gristly, brutal deaths

Bathhouses are closing
Freedom, like steam, dissipating
