Poems starting with these words ('Du kommer fra ...') are special. They're inspired by the vibrant, multicultural crowd of girls using the library. The girls seem to be sort of designing their identities from an innovative blend of their family history and cultural roots - and their own lives as contemporary Danish school kids.
In a wider context, I feel that these poems are about the quintessential teen spirit.

night jeans
you come from night
a rich black scenic curtain
behind the lives
of even the poorest people
night
the rich black scenic myth
of your early life
day is reality in jeans
day is easy to know
isn't mythic
is just now
but night is part of
the start of
you before reality
a quality
you want to be part of
you love night
its rich black scenic curtain
you're shaping it into hearts
trimming with pearls black shiny
you're patchworking
on your day jeans
