How people really think about the World, and their life in it, is one of the great unacknowledged elephants of our time. We think we're these cool, calm, rational beings and... ...well basically "rubbish!" We're more than a little ape, and apes are quite monkey, and monkeys are quite reptile.
This barely touches on that, but there may be some self-deceit going on...

These events become parenthetical,
sliding past your real life (moments in doorways,
rain-beleaguered; nights in anonymous hotels)
unexamined. You can prove these things don't happen.
The normal rules preclude kissing young ladies
(behind the curl of hair around her ear) naturally
you have no habit of checking
it isn't going on.
