I Just Don't Know

it’s unexplainable,
this floppy gap or fit
that flips and flops
in my tummy.

it feels like my insides
are trying to beg their pardon,
bid me adieu and lullabies
with gentle, fetal rocking
don’t seem to pacify them.

i rarely can pin-point
its origin or its calling,
but I know it has
a purpose...
