"Poetry comes at things through particulars, by means of images, and it doesn't deal so easily with generalities. Its mode is to cherish without limit. You could say it is idolatrous art. Some poems, the great poems, are true to their specific situations deep down, but they also have a universal quality that lets them live again and again, even in apparently unrelated circumstances." -Galway Kinnell

One word, whose word, could be said perhaps blend of "fray" and "fazzle"
the first line is from the last poem i read before falling asleep, "poem for bob leed" by robert creeley. i fell asleep quite frazzled. in the morning, i looked up the etymology of "frazzled" in the american heritage dictionary, and that's where the second line comes from.
