Random Order

To the privileged teen age girl

conscious of her self-image

and how she relates to her place

in a world comprised of her

generation, the much-admired

one preceding hers and all the

rest comprised of varying degrees

of "old"; those younger than she

barely rating notice, very little

she desires lies beyond her ability

to simply pluck those treasures

that will ensure her life is made

worthwhile, complementing her

pleasant dreams.  With the possible

exceptions, perhaps of perfect grades,

a coterie of sympathetically reliable 

best friends (every one of them), a

stunningly gorgeous, affable

boyfriend for whom her care is

his command, a palatial bedroom,

a private pool and no end of money

to spend on the necessities of life:

clothing, jewellery, cosmetics.  All

desired and fervently wished for.

Not necessarily in that particular

and obviously random order.
