"Eye Contact"

I almost had forgotten what it was like...

     That sickening stab of  nervous surprise.
    
 My heart bellowed behind my ribs-

     It beat the bones like a thousand caged butterflies.

I strode a bit more quickly now.

     I feared the commotion could be heard from inside of me.

I'm hardly aware of the reasons and causes,

     They are strangers, just like you.

What a feeling, though,

From someone I hardly know.
