1980s girl wake up on Douglas and,
Turn the Cadillac red plastic bathroom radio on
Listen to Duran Duran
And you don’t tease your hair because you are too conscientious
Not to have it permed, you spray it stiff and barbie-like
Peg your jeans, 1980s girl and,
You kill your mother
And you paint your bedroom green while she is at work
You buy high cut bikini bottoms at the mall, walking around
In glossy chocolate brown square toed heels
You watch MTV in the living room and you have a quick
Cigarette inside, and you thrash your arms like bird wings and bare your teeth
And your friends laugh, and they suck up the smell like vacuum cleaners
Radio still playing upstairs, you forgot it on,
Immortal 1980s girl
