Dark Side of the Moon
The dark side of the moon does not exist.

It does not exist, so said the lady at the Griffith Observatory. She worked there, and had a gigantic mobile which showed how it works and everything, so I’ll take her word for it, especially since I’m not so great at the 3D abstracts.
O, I found a boyfriend at the observatory.
He’s really smart and knows all kinds of things. Perhaps he’ll be able to explain this whole moon business so that I finally get it straight.
