I hiked to Kite Hill to get a good look at the blood moon. It's a hilltop with a panoramic view of the city. It wasn't exactly an original idea. There were people parked and waiting for the eclipse when I got there. Some people were sitting on lounge chairs and others were sitting on the hoods of their cars. There was a lot of activity. There were the sounds of radios and people talking loudly. I overheard a woman tell her friend, "I don't want to make love, I want to fuck and have a baby." A part of me wanted to stand next to her, but I looked toward Pasadena instead.
More and more people were showing up and I was getting overstimulated, so I decided to find a new spot. I walked down the hill some and found a spot that had a view of downtown and the moon. I heard a mockingbird singing in the valley and there was a gentle wind blowing. There was nobody around but me. I had the whole moon to myself.
