PENUMBRA

Late this afternoon I saw Pan's Labyrinth. It was like Alice in Wonderland only in fascist Spain. I was still under its spell when my friend Max and I left the theater. We drove around the city something aimless and as we drove, I could not seem to shut up about the moon. It was about 6:30 PM CST. Then I remembered hearing something about a lunar eclipse this morning on the radio. I squinted my eyes and suddenly recognized the fuzzy shadow of earth's butt.
