Once there was a Moon Party

my earliest memory, a moon landing party
in ft worth or maybe dallas
i hadn't thought of it in awhile until this anniversary
50 years ago i was 2 years,
hadn't brushed off the cosmic dust
covering it by the kiloton and acre
perhaps it wasn't
the first moon landing, i'll have to ask mom
but it computes 
it wasn't at grandmas, but maybe it was 
at great aunt ruths
or the apartment of some other relatives of friend.
at a point, the mind plays coy tricks
there's no shadow off the flag pole goddammit
did it even happen? an earliest
memory?
