Total eclipsis, manic ellipsis

            Ah, there is the sun, hiding behind the moon. I see it peeking out now.

I guess that means that the totality part of the total eclipse of the sun is now officially over. But it is over so soon! That two and a half minutes of night at noon day near Paducah, Kentucky felt not only just 15 seconds long but it also felt so surreal. Mesmerizing. Someone asked if I heard the birds quiet down or did I see that flock fly confusingly in a circle as if they lost their compass. I thought — birds, what birds?

Does time stop when there's a total eclipse of the sun? Because it sure felt like it.
