Summer New (Hiroshima) Moon
Let the kids and the grandkids decompress from grandpop’s visit. We wore ourselves out riding the train, eating pizza, driving a long ways.
I took the night off and saw a movie. Dark Knight Rises. Weird, I know. The 6:05 time though. Not the late one.
The Harkins Theaters are a multi-plex (what’s the plex mean?) not far from the hotel. I settled into a seat, the theatre was not crowded. As the previews began to roll, I looked around, imagining a similar scene, only the night before, only a suburb away. Gas rolling in. A masked gunman shooting.
As the movie started, a strange thing happened. A man in a dark shirt walked in, looked around, went to the back of the theatre, pressed the exit door open, light spilled in from the outside. He pulled it shut, turned around and walked out. Gave me a moment.
After the movie, around 9:00 pm, this is a long one, I went over to a yogurt shop and had a dish of cookies and cream, sitting outside in a cool Colorado night. No bugs.
There are odd reverberations in the movie given the Aurora event. In it a man with a mask-like device over his face locks people in a room and shoots at them with an automatic weapon.
