The Exact Moment

[Lightning Rod]

I'm not sure when it happened
somewhere between your toothache and your biopsy
before the breakdown or after my therapy
I don't know if it was something I did or didn't do

the first clue was when you didn't laugh at my jokes
oh, I know that I was taking pokes at everything sacred
to you and your indoctrination but my fascination was
just how easily I get a rise out of you like you got one out of me

but it was not a simple jerk of the knee,
reflex or lack of sex, I think it was more complex
something to do with familiarity or similarity
or a quack diagnosis without a second opinion

to understand is not my dominion, I'm a visitor here
and the sheer astonishment didn't last as long as I expected
solo songs were sung, advances were rejected
and I still don't know just when it happened

Fascinating and scintillating as always. I could learn a lot from your poetic style.

life & disillusioning choices "and i still don't know just what happened" all rolled into one
