High school.

Thixotropic grievances and malarial hedgehogs and bowls overflowing with chicken stock,
A cute, overfed child and oily strands in a plait, crudely decked up in a pink frock.
Rendezvous at the local fair and numerous glitter bangles coupled with a glistening and trendy navel ring.
Inconsequential bouts of anger inching towards the senile plus a listless and off~beat mood swing.
Grade~point averages and tumultous burpday treats, a belittling act of self~defiance so benign,
Common room brawls and ultra~secret sting operations complement a premature loss of mind and a lumpsum fine.
Consolidated high school years and egotistic love triangles trigger a dormant fit of rage so obscure,
A quarter of a decade in a pent~up hell hole and a totally secure job warranty, that's for sure.
