Something felt off about the whole night;
triggering a reaction within my psyche
lying there on the couch listening
to John Paul Jones play the Mellotron.
She only confirmed it–
I was surprised not one bit–
when she admitted to me later
of her mild transgression.
Although initially it felt
like a punch to the gut,
that news was much easier to shake off
than the stuff that came afterward;
which was really threw me for a loop.
