Senior Moments Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Excuse me, did I hear you
say something
or is it my hearing.
No! but I hear voices
you said.
What?
Come on honey, stop speaking
into the kitchen cabinets
or the refrigerator
and blame me for hearing loss.
Senior moment.
Senior moment.
Hey honey,
did you see my shoes?
Silence.
What?
I'm looking for the car keys, honey.
From the other room comes a voice.
A loud voice.
She shouts,
Check the pant pockets
you wore today.
