Jill remembers 11 August 1999

when the moon stood before the sun.

She remembers the time, 11:15 am

how light rippled through the air

how the moon stood before the sun

how it became cold as night

how light rippled through the air

how dew swallowed the grass

how it became cold as night

how trees wore dresses of printed moons

how dew swallowed the grass

how street lights turned themselves on

when the moon stood before the sun

it became cold as night

light rippled through the air

dew swallowed the grass

trees wore dresses of printed moons

street lights turned themselves on

but she expected something more arousing

like full frontal sex while bungee jumping

after all the hype Jill was disappointed

by what happened on 11 August 1999
