Trickster

trickster rides
the knife edge between
pain and rage

Explanation: Yeah, I'm getting minor twitches of holiday blues this year, but I made an interesting discovery this summer. There's an unstable equilibrium between the pain of utter depression and the rage when it turns outward. I finally figured out a description for it tonight: tricksterism. It's a bit dicey to stay there, but it beats the alternative.
