Depolarized, demagnetized, and detached…
DETACHED…
What the hell does that title mean, am I over matched?
Or am I truly here before the chicken as I was hatched,
I sometimes do wear a hat that I hear was thatched,
Maybe my head should be sewn shut, yes patched…
DEPOLARIZED…
Scary though it may be to those of you who understand,
If you do understand what I herein mean, can you please for me expand?
I don’t wish to make it look as if I have no brain cells,
But of late it seems I have been hearing from my head only bells,
So if you can help me here I really would be in your debt,
Please do remind me what we are discussing, as I do at times forget…
DEMAGNETIZED…
So what did I want to say here in this little rant?
Things that I am not able to say elsewhere or can’t,
My magnetic north is floating towards the south,
Let me quick make my point before it totally does dribble from my mouth…
What the hell did that title mean again?
Did I ever answer that question?
I really hate to be otherwise mundane,
But what choice have I got, I am only here to entertain…

This and many other lines make this a thoughtful, fascinating piece, Eddie M... I think it's possible, even desireable, at times, to stick it out there and find out what dialogue it inspires. You have a gifted knack for titles, my dear.
Note: when in doubt for category, you can always use "Poetry", for that is precisely what you do! (smile) katy xox.

PS Those bells you hear in your head are part of the dreaded 'Over 50 Male Menopause' Syndrome, along with the hot and cold flashes that you are experiencing - get used to it!
