Twentynet 80's

more more
bigger better
hairspray laminates the hair
parachute pants rule body
music louder
jewelry glitter
Madonna reigns
singing sexy
like a virgin I dance fearless
vivid makeup paints all our faces

Ocean Pacific
is choice
t-shirt scattered among break dancers rave
cabbage patch doll fights between moms
Ray-bans framed my face shading the sun
neon blinded the world highlighting love
and friendship bracelets worn
elevated excitement perfumes the
air with
soul power
