Fabricated Angst 
by X-tabai 

Another poem, plain package 
smuggled through my fingers 
under cover of loneliness. 

Trite subject - paper cut love, 
stinging with lemon memory, 
salted by cynical prophecy. 

Time wasted; words weathered 
from storms of repetition. My life, 
a tornado trashed trailer park. 

But what was the instrument - 
a pen, paper, my own strained voice 
pulling down imaginary walls. 

Muse of tragedy lies broken 
beneath a dirt bed of neglect. I think 
she never really sang for me - 

I sang for myself.
