boy meet girl—you know
assimilation complete

assimilation's children
often pay their price dearly

    Nicely done. But they will, of course, go on and do it themselves.

    Part of youthful rebellion sometimes brings about a reversal of sorts.

    Results can differ in assimilations people do make.

    What a wry take on biological imperatives! The taut form underscores the message.
