s./j. goldner - 80's child

When that music hits all eyes swarm
Who is this girl kickin’ it
To the beat right on time
Leg warmered shins flyin’
White keds and fluorescent T
Yellow sports bra
Help her to remember the year she was born—
See the way she sways her head back & forth
Nodding front and reverse
Turns oh now she’s got it!

Frazzled hair krimped and ironed
Side-part scrunchie—
why! Bright pink of course!

MJ blarin’ New Kids! Madonna!
Petty & Paula!
why! She’s your 80’s child.
