She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches

That used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up

Whenever you bang the door open again

She spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience

Like a woman who went blind

Because she looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes

With pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about

The dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes

With a pinhole in it

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever

Her eyes were like two brown circles with two black dots in the center

We had never met

We were like two hummingbirds who had also never met

And I miss her already

She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches

That used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up

Whenever you bang the door open again

Like a woman who went blind

Because she looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes

With pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about

The dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes

With a pinhole in it
