Moodily Chilling Out

Is there any human emotion exemplifying
sheer, grey gloom as aptly as that of a
teen-age girl so miserably put upon by the
annoying exigencies of homework impinging
upon the freedom hours of her day? The voice
expressionless, a steady state of remote
indifference masking an inner shriek of
resentment at the stupid and amazingly
unnecessary waste of precious, personal time.

So much better spent in a wide variety of other
conceivable pursuits. Adults, their constricting
values and irrationally banal priorities are so
damn relentless in their need to impose on
hapless kids elements of useless knowledge
they are fixated upon, really most appallingly
incidental to the important things in life like
hanging out and just, you know, chilling.
