Being told this was the last total lunar eclipse before 2025 meant I almost got out of bed at 4am and then 5am and so on till 7:34. I hope the many wives of Jupiter gave our moon the respite we need. Blood letting, I could use a nap.

When I wait at the light on my bicycle on Broad, I know cars will speed through all the signals--slow, fast, stop. I learned my patience at intersections. Blood letting.

I wait for the light to turn green. 
You wait for the light to turn red.
