Neil Armstrong 1930-2012

One evening / in the summer of '69 / while on vacation at my Grandmother's in Morocco / she uncharacteristically / took Diane and me / with her to her club. / I fell asleep next to her / my head in her lap. / She woke me suddenly saying /"Talia! / look at the TV / you'll remember this the rest of your life". / Neil Armstrong / the first man on moon / floated across the screen. / I indeed remember / Neil Armstrong is woven into my childhood memories of Morocco / as a sketch from the project Julie and I are working on reflects. /
