Notes About The Poem

5/1/2018

In 1997 my wife and I were taking a midnight stroll on the beach in St. Simons Island, GA, while the comet Hale-Bopp was flying by. As good a time as any for a kiss, yeah? Hale-Bopp is due to return in the year 4380. I wonder where we’ll be then?

Hale-Bopp’s fly-by
midnight stroll St. Simons beach …
lovers gently kiss

Thank you, Tom. 21 years ago. Where has the time gone for sure. Hale-Bopp is due to return in the year 4380. I wonder where we'll be then :) Take care!
