1.
the solar eclipse
celestial bandwagon
we can’t even watch
2.
protect naked eyes
by not staring at the sun
during the eclipse.
3.
but you can watch it
when the eclipse is total
and the sun is black
4.
eclipse “sun glasses”
are just like wedding dresses:
probably worn once.
5.
the woman scoffed when,
“ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone”
played on eclipse day.
6.
Not to be deterred,
I played “Walking on Sunshine,”
just for good measure.
7.
Unfortunately,
she didn’t like that either.

Hmm… maybe Roy Ayers?
