To be honest,

I’m not clear on angst:

Breadcrumbs under one’s existential skin?

Psychological unrest of

teenagers

quarter-life-crisis-ers

mid-life guys who grow their hair?

 

What, exactly, is angst,

beyond asking questions in a petulant tone?

 

But I am clear on this:

The “tone” of the question doesn’t mean

that the question no longer matters.

If you have

pimples

live in your folks’ basement

have a biker fantasy

are the steadiest of family persons,

 

Your question matters.
