you don’t know when
it happens, but it does
suddenly something changes
like they say in
‘a tale as old as time,’
‘then somebody bends,
unexpectedly.’

you don’t know how
it happens, but it does
now you have to deal
with butterflies in your gut
chills down your front
tingling in your toes
while your brain grasps,
huh, when did I get here?

you don’t know why
it happens, but it does
you sit and think,
try to reason, try to stop
anything to stem
the flow of jitters
questioning, at the same time,
why not, what do I have
to lose?
