80s Babies

Fold your wings;
Prince succeeds the King.
Gaudy clothes
and music videos.
Tapes down in the basement
soon will need replacement.
They’re overplayed and quickly wearing thin.
With forward getting faster,
if we survive this rapture,
a safer way to dance is all we need.
Take it from the 1970s.
Hold me now.
Change is all around you.
Tapes up in the attic,
stacked and getting static.
A safer way to dance is on the way
for all you eighties babies born too late.
