You are angst poetry
          played on the strings
                     of an untuned guitar
     A smokers cough cord
            that grinds like grit in a turbine
 Clumsy fingers that slip
   ungracefully on the flimsy stretched nylon
           A coffee percolating flow
         of words I do not know
                  A language of sophisticated agony
            the core of your existence
                     is wretched from your gut
                             through the microphone
                        
when my sense are filled with the crudity of your song,
I can feel the pain, 
                           more than words, 
                 you are the poetry that you perform

For sure it is not about disecting the chant of the heart but the emotions that wrote the words.
