No Trend

They were careful to exhibit only behaviour
Which had been approved by their peer group.

He had programmed his "personality"
To conform to adolescent trends
She had synthesized her "emotions"
Based on accepted teen sex-role characteristics.
They had copied all aspects of their behavior
From what they had observed in society.

Familiarity breeds contempt.
Such nausea I've never known.

My nightmare is their lie.

They met during social interaction in Algebra class.
She was expressionless at first, but then "smiled" to indicate submission.
He rearranged his facial features to appear "friendly".
After determining that their popularity status was comparable
They decided that a "relationship" would be mutually beneficial
They were careful to be seen together
In all the local fast-food franchises.

He had a stylized speech pattern
She used all the newest slang.
When they talked on the telephone
They had troubled generating conversation stimulus.

They programmed "arguments" into their "relationship"
To make their lives seem "meaningful".
