Big hair.
Bright colors.
Boom box.
And you.
You’re stuck there.
The past your home.
The present your prison.
I am the present.
You look at me.
You see yourself.
A mirror.
A reflection of your failure.
A cracked mirror.
For I am not you.
Your reflection is your own.
But nothing is your fault.
So you keep looking.
And you.
Boom box.
Bright colors.
Big hair.
1980.
