Am I missing something? I don't see how your rewording--A period of time in which the nearest luminous celestial body is obscured by the very celestial body upon which the observer is located; said time period occurs in the present rather than the past or the future--is completely represented in the single-word title, "Tonight."

Night is when the Sun (the nearest luminous celestial body) is obscured by the Earth, the celestial body upon which a person observing that it is night is standing. That it occurs in the present makes it Tonight as opposed to yesterday night or tomorrow night.

Distributing contaminated foodstuffs within the confines of a publicly-accessible region of grass, trees, and/or other flora situated in an urban area (and usually maintained by the local municipal government) with the intent that said foodstuffs should be consumed by avians of the genus Columba and with the further intent that said avians should be harmed, perhaps even fatally, by the consumption of said foodstuffs.

Time for a hint, huh ?
First lines:
The time is sometime after two. The establishment is bereft of people, save for myself (the narrator) and the attendant to whom I speak.
Attendant, go ahead and produce the wares for which I arrived. In my possession is a tale with which you are likely already familiar.
