lightning strikes only once
in any given spot
we are led to believe love
can tie a lasting knot
science has no evidence
that either is the truth
both claims defy analysis
just fantasies of youth
the physicist will testify
lightning can strike twice
foolish lovers learn in time
love extracts a price
love ends in bitterness
if not in cold deceit
lightning surely finds a fool
refusing to retreat
