He Said…

She was hurrying along to cross the street beside me, this evening, and I didn’t realize they were together. She was carrying plastic sacks from the grocery store… in her 30’s. He catches up to her and says, ‘You’re on such a mission, you missed the beautiful moon’. She said, ‘Oh. Yeah.  He said, ‘You can’t see it now, it’s behind the buildings, but you’ll want to see it’.
I had seen it and It reminded me, if you have ever read the book, Wait Till the Moon is Full, of being the size of a raccoon’s whisker.
