What Paper Towns is
Midnight cul-de-sac June. Two paper airplanes punch a neighbor’s window from below. Pick-up truck bed glows with stolen sheet music, whiskey bottles, a modern-art mask. By sunrise the driver vanishes and the map she left curls like dead leaves on his suburban stoop. Like early 2010s John Hughes bathed in Tumblr blue.
