1989 Poem by Justin Gildow

1989



It's all elemental
When the Candy Girl and the Electric Youth meet
The digger is going up and going down
Rising up and rising down

Candy stores are heaven for the kids
Rick and Jennifer hold hands as they walk on by
During the day and the sunshine
The songs of Midnight Oil play on
And it becomes apparent when the full moon comes along
The songs of The Clash play on and on

The gardener tells his visitors of what he hopes for the future
I'm still having recurring dreams
The kids love their yo-yo's
Flinging and swinging them around in every direction

On a hill
The Candy Girl and the Electric Youth sit side by side
As airplanes pass by over them
They tell their stories while having a laugh
