Manufactured Fear

Car cover looks rearview --
steered cues, billiard tragedies
hanging over lines like cliffs
justifying last night's bang-up
by jobs, repairs, reduction.

Complete sentence. Indigestion.
Guarded vowel vowing disavowal
against pain's grain
sandpaper, tongue, and roof.
Place(d) another line to line things up.

Peer, groups, back to your horizon;
it's the looking that pulls the back,
a compressed column once known
as spine. Pine, a forest of desire.
Cessation, a darkness we perspire.
