1980s girl wake up on Douglas and,
Turn red plastic bathroom radio on
You don’t tease your hair, too conscientious
Not to have it permed, you spray it hard
You paint your bedroom green while
She is at work, your mother
In glossy chocolate square toed heels
In the living room you have a quick
Cigarette inside
Radio still playing upstairs, you forgot it on,
Immortal 1980s girl
1980s Girl
