Thirteen
and in love
with a new boy
every day on Face Book.
Posters of Justin Bieber
hang in her bedroom
soon to be replaced by the latest teen idol.
She is the hot one
in her crowd
and likes being the
center of attention.
Silver braces line her teeth.
Her bright eyes
one blue
one brown
and long blond shoulder length hair
will make her Dad
pace the living room
in a few more years.
Right now
she’s still into sleepovers
with her chubby
girlfriends
and swimming at the town pool.
