       and why now

    Perhaps he’d stopped taking a pulse
       that froze long ago somehow

Mental illness? Chemical poison affecting the mind. Cell phone radiation? 5G? Too much mainstream news and political propaganda? Too much college? If you can narrow it down, my friend, please let me know. Maybe all of the above?
