Getting Caught Between the Moon and NYC and Falling in Love

I’m listening this guy singing about how if you get caught between the moon and NYC, best that you can do is fall in love. I’ve been to NYC and got caught between the moon and it, but best I did was get mugged and propositioned by a woman of the night without even an iota of love in her sex business-seeking heart.

You could say, Um (I know you sometimes start sentences with um), that I probably got caught between a blue moon and NYC, which like blue moon suggests, it wouldn’t guarantee falling in love. And … um … if you were to fall in love between a blue moon and NYC, blue moon could also suggest it would be ill-fated anyway and you would only get a broken heart out of that moonlit moment in NYC.

Now I’m wondering if you fell in love between a half moon or a full moon after being caught between one of those moons in NYC, would those moon sizes have any effect on the quality of falling in love? But best that I can do is forget about this silly speculation. Besides I live in NC, where I’ve never heard of people getting caught between moons and falling in love. People are more down to earth here.

He Fell in Love with Her Seductively Beautiful Face

He fell in love with her face but not
with what ticked inside her head.
And he didn’t really care to bother
with what made her tick behind
that seductively beautiful face.

When darkness inside her head
began to slither out,
what was ticking inside it
became disturbingly transparent
to everyone but him.
He was too far addicted to
her abundant beauty
and her bedroom charms
to see the darkness rising
until she cheated on him,
used him, and lied to him.

And left him for a wealthier man
of more use to her after he
outlived his temporary usefulness.
