Sparkly strobe flicks flickering
Across high vaulted ceiling where
Diamond droplets pattern hot flesh
Revolving metal mirrors reflecting
Dancers swaying to high-energy images
Torn from reverse colour filmstrips.
Scratched frames of action.
Glossy looks encapsulate
Awesome fashionistas
The spirit of the age back then
Suspended in a glass skull
Over the heads of a throng of
Gauzy baby doll mini dress devotees.
Segue to shared erotic hallucination:
A remote-controlled tarantula
With anatomical controls and
Damp-resistant plastic body.
Bad trip or breakthrough?
Only time will tell.
