She: You ever notice how the moon gets tired?
He: The fuck you talking about?
She: I'm talking about the moon. Right now. Look at it.
He: I'm looking at it. It's the moon. Same moon as yesterday, same moon as tomorrow.
She: No no no, see that's where you're wrong. That's like saying every cigarette tastes the same.
He: Every cigarette does taste the same.
She: Bullshit. A cigarette after sex? After coffee? After you just killed somebody? Completely different animals.
He: We're talking about the moon here.
She: We're talking about paying attention. The moon right now - it's calm. Not regular calm. Exhausted calm. Like it just got done with something.
He: You're high.
She: I haven't touched shit in three days.
He: Then you're having a stroke.
She: You know what your problem is? You think everything's a medical emergency or a drug thing. Sometimes people just see shit.
He: Nobody "just sees" the moon being tired.
She: I see it breathing.
He: Come again?
She: Breathing. In and out. Real slow. Like my grandmother before she died, that last hour when everyone knew but nobody wanted to say it.
He: That's fucked up.
She: Look at the edge. Right side, where the light stops being light.
He: I'm not playing this game.
She: It's not a game. Look at it. Right fucking now, look at it.
He: Fine. I'm looking. Happy?
She: You see it?
He: I see the moon.
She: The shimmer. Like heat waves off asphalt but wrong. Backwards.
He: That's atmosphere. Basic physics.
She: There's no atmosphere up there, genius.
He: I mean our atmosphere, between us and...
She: Shut up. Keep watching.
He: This is stupid.
She: It knows we're watching.
He: What?
She: Every night it gets closer. Started maybe two weeks ago. Just a little breathing at first, now it's like... aware.
He: Stop.
She: You feel it too. That little itch in your brain telling you to look away.
He: I said stop.
She: It just saw you. Right then, when you blinked. It marked you.
He: What the fuck does that mean, "marked me"?
She: Means tomorrow night you'll see it breathing too. And the night after that, You'll believe. And the night after that, You'll see triple moon.
