At What Point

A Powers
At what point does a birdsong become an annoyance?
When does one stop noticing the laugh in others' eyes?
How are birth and death reduced to ordinary circumstance?
What makes tasting new things no longer a surprise?
When does one stop pushing oneself toward atonement?
What makes the ties 'tween souls and senses tear?
Can I step back from the threshold to that moment
Just before and live the rest of my days there?
