ladies of the eighties (not to be confused with ladies in their eighties)

flames fill the fluorescent
yellow painted room
with red

furious pink panted
legs fume out of
the 80's dance hall
revolution

leg warmers on fire
two big-haired ladies
shield their Aqua-net
drowned heads

the party, over
the night drifts on
through to dawn

substance lost
burned to the ground
a one night escape
is all they found

in the home of
the pink panted
men
where the big-haired
ladies stayed on

into the morning light
of the fluorescent
orange-pink
sunrise

blue mascara
smudged eyes
drool down
their face
as they stagger
through the
walk of shame
until they reach
the wallpapered
rooms they call home
