AndYet

And then it happens 
poof not like lightning 
or even like thunder 
more like summer’s invisible 
spiders webs hanging quietly 
there in front of 
you walking thoroughly unaware 
until you get tangled 
or like a feather 
or like a leaf
floating down from nowhere 
and then suddenly being 
somewhere delicately upon you 
This thing that happens 
just like that always 
like that and never 
ever any other way 
is the one thing 
that you were always
certain wouldn’t ever happen 
and yet just did
