Last night

I walked in and heard a voice
Eagerly calling my name.
I looked.
The face was not familiar,
She looked attractive.
She was smiling.
She was happy to see me.
She had a fresh haircut.
She was alert.
She was with a man.

I was introduced and,
He immediately called me by the wrong name.
Of course I had forgotten his.
Our talk was small.

I wished them a pleasant evening,
And walked to the end of the bar.
I opened a book.
The bartender,
My beer.
There was just enough light,
To read.

Who the HELL was that?

Usually when I see someone I have not run into in years...I can tell who it is just by body language.

I'll say yes.
Then no...
Then finally yes.

Most of the time my first impression was right

It is always a nice moment to suddenly remember who the person is, if that happens.

Considering that I wrote the poem in 1986 I think that opportunity has
passed.


The only time I had trouble with remembering people was right after I
got out of the Army.
