The moon was huge
I like to go for walks in the evening. It's nice and cool around my neighborhood and also very peaceful. Tonight as I walked down the street I noticed the moon - it was huge! It was so big, my initial reaction was fear. I thought the planets had all become unaligned and we were about to crash into the sun and become extinct. But as I walked in the direction of the moon, it seemed to gradually get smaller. Once I'd reached the end of the street, it was back to its normal size. I don't know why it seemed so big from a distance.
And here's the meaning of this metaphorical experience: Things always seem big from a distance. It's like Monday mornings: From a Sunday they seem terrible, but from a Monday they're pretty much like the rest of the week...
"X O" by Elliot Smith is so damned good. He was a true genius...
