Those Senior Moments Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Where are my keys?

'In your hand.'

Oh,
Who knew?
Has anyone seen my eyeglasses?

'They are on your head,
Covering your eyes.'

I knew.
I was just testing you.

Excuse me...
You look very familiar.
Have we met?

'Not only did we meet.
We were married for eight years.'

That's where I've seen you before.
So...
How have you been,
Uh...uh...

'Janice, maybe?
Perhaps? '

'Seriously.
It's Janice, Michael.'

Michael?
My name is Lawrence.

'Oh...?
Seriously?
I guess we are all experiencing,
Those senior moments.
Well...
It was nice seeing you, again.
Raymond.'

Lawrence.

'Yeah?
Whatever.'
