Inhuman Magnetism

From the outside, it seems inexplicable
How I can go from social
To irritable, irascible, and back to amiable,
From “my favorite place in the world,”
To “when can I get out of this hole?”
In the time it takes a mossy stone not to roll.
Am I the sociopath, peripatetic and blissful?

I once got a magnet near my MP3s,
and it wouldn't play any track past the “B”s.

I have known a mind such as these.

I play annoyed, aggravated, angry.
Contentment could get me down to the “C”s,
But the patron deity of dysfunctional I'd displease.
