Everyone is ready now, for the

Culmination of days, months, years of expectation, this

Life-changing event, they call it, Totality or Bust! So

I’ve ditched my day’s responsibilities, called out sick and

Purchased my special fancy glasses, driven 16 hours just to

See it happen, right before my eyes, up there, where the

Entire sky is covered by a great grey cloud
