Irritation

It's not only me, I think

It's endemic,

Seeming to blight each and every life.

Constant small things that get under

The skin, on the nerves, winding up

Emotions into tight spring wire; ready to

Expand explosively at the person who

Inadvertent touches the mechanism.

Can this be the stuff life

Is made of, whines of discontent,

Mechanisms of discord?
