It beats expectations. It instantly caught my eye, the moon, which was full the night before, had lost a mouth size piece from it’s down facing portion. I don’t watch the news for obvious reasons so I missed the hype that usually goes along with an eclipse or other phenomenon of the like. So, I took that as weird - the moon - once full - had spun backwards.
But I’m not that smart so I drove on and stored that into the X-files. However, with the help of traffic, some moment s later - I noticed the moon had progressed into a sliver of itself hanging in the sky - the rest still seen underneath a swirling smoke of dark sun. I stared from my car window in awe that I was seeing something unique. A disaster could have unfolded in the sky and I expected fate's timing as right. But, thankfully I was safe in my little round car.
I realize millions had possibly witnessed the phenomenon, though I saw it while in traffic, through my car window on my way home. Just as I saw the breathtaking Griffith Park Fires, the hypnotized gaze on drivers faces the morning of 9/11 and the feeling of emptiness as I traveled the highway to my family to tell them of my sisters passing. My moving vessels have held more feelings than any relationship I've ever had (except you, Jessica). I’m glad we shared the moon together last night (not you, the car). To add, I didn't know it was an eclipse until I saw it on the cover of the LA Times this morning - glad it wasn't a space monster.
