Moon News

by Elisa Gabbert

I read that in January of 1912, “the moon came closer to the Earth than at any time in the previous 1,400 years.”

High tides make the sea extra iceberg-y; ergo, the moon sunk the Titanic.

When you turn your concentration to one thing, you turn your distraction to something else. Distraction as dark side of the moon.

Every photo of the moon from the moon looks black and white, because the moon is black and white.

I resent all this news about the moon. I only love the moon when it takes me by surprise.

Here’s my favorite thing about the moon: A moonwalker said when he’s looking at the sky, he sometimes suddenly remembers: That’s my moon, the same moon I walked on. (To each their own moon.)

We realize the same things over and over, new every time.

We are born not remembering why we walked into the room.
