Anxiety creeps

Anxiety creeps
As worms in petals in bloom;
Anxiety creeps
And spreads and drips
On the floor of the room
Through chinks in scrawlings of gloom.
Anxiety creeps.

I have bought from the mall

All shapes on sale

And stitched into patterns

Of glamour and gloss

That others might favour

And barter their smile

To fatten for slaughter

The purse of the self,

Clutched in the fist

As morsels to the starved. 

Decked to the hilt, on windows I pose

And showcase myself for consumers' gaze.
