Reaction Anxiety

press buttons pull levers
toggle switches trip springs

stand back
feign shocked ..
seek the support of others
you're a victim..

stir the embers wind up
those around you
taunt with accusing cues
the abuser you seek
to invoke  to response

choreographed abuse
for your twisted
pathological amusement
basking in your
manufacture persecution

press your correction
nitpick through
gratuitous grudges 
such a director
of swift dramatic invocation
an award to you..

but it is blemished
and we spelled your name wrong
