Humbly Yours

Fixated on inspiring envy from
others whom she instinctively,
viscerally feels compelled to awe
by drawing their attention, she
preens with the pride of believing
herself extraordinary, able to excite
feelings of green longing when
others' notice is directed toward
symbols of her exquisite taste 
her unerring eye, her penchant
for recognizing rare value, her
devotion to neighbour-envy, and
her costly contracting out of
professionals, experts in devising
and creating luxurious upgrades
no expense spared. Nothing bores
her so much as others performing
their own tasks in obedience to their 
aesthetic; their focus on self-reliance
and satisfaction in accomplishment.
Their generosity in acknowledging
the quality of work performed on
her behalf by the workers she
imperiously bullies she recognizes
as her due. Leaving her no
social obligation like the tedious
expectation of reciprocation for
herself, deigning never to bend 
so low as to issue compliments
on the delight of  well-executed
originality by those who undertake
their own impeccable redesign.
