eighties
It's a glamorous life, baby

Sheila E said so

many moons ago

when I was butchering my hair with Finesse hairspray

trying to be somebody

and being nobody

It's glamorous

glitter and gold

a holorific fantasy

"Showtime, Synergy!"

and I ain't in control

and my first name ain't baby

and my last name ain't Jackson neither, bitch

So, what do I do?

when I can't sing like Irene Cara on Fame?

and men won't be my slaves like they will for Grace Jones?

and She-Ra's breastplate is a little snug?

and my eyes don't sparkle like Lynda Carter's?

Do I end it all

in a blitz of pop rocks and soda?

dance the night away

to India and Cynthia

till the white towel on my head

becomes the gleaming locks of Storm?

back...
