La Lune
lovely red balloon,
total eclipse of the moon-
birthday gift for you
5/15/22, 11:30pm, super flower blood moon – total lunar eclipse, also my wife's birthday
Totally Solar
I am well prepared
for the '24 solar eclipse-
I have my magnifying glass
and telescope ready
for a real good close-up.
Still got a blind spot
from the one in '17, though,
so I'll have to keep my eyes
on it for at least an hour.
Maybe longer.

I remember
walking across The Ellipse to see
Jeff Beck play at Constitution Hall
just as some White House dirty tricks
were being suspected.
At the Washington Post, Woodward
and Berstein were digging deep,
and the Watergate dots
were being connected.
It was Halloween of '72,
and the trick was soon to be
on Tricky Dicky. But not before
he'd be re-elected.
