how strangely things line up
the total eclipse of the sun
the guy who slips in front of you
for the checkout line that has the cute checker
and his basket is full
and you have only two things
the lady at the butcher counter
who doesn’t bother taking a number
and she is buying for a birthday party
and texts her husband what to get
or the frazzled minivan mom
who loses the parking spot because
someone takes it before the other car finishes backing up
how much is the light dimmed
how much does the temperature drop
how the tidal forces grip and twist the skull
and ribcage
with the dark side of moon
gazing fully at the glory of an unobstructed sun
will the moon remember how to move
eclipse
Words and Feathers 
It has always been my rule to get in the line with the cutest checker, but I’ve never pushed my way in. That sort of defeats the purpose.
Thankfully, the moon moved on. It was eerie when day quickly and suddenly became night. — Never let darkness or unmannerly ppl step on our toes. I think if we scream loud enough, they will get the message that they’re being rude and obstructive.
