Eclipses are brief, but happen often these days:
Conversation that isn't about you
Laughter that isn't at your jokes
I smile in the real sun, forgetting your smile
Perhaps one day you won't be the first thought in my mind.
Something new will come; the pain will be
Eclipsed by the joy of living without you.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
