There is that person,
You know the face,
But what is the name?
They greet me
With a “Hi Andy, how are you?”
I respond “Hiya, I am fine, how about you?”
And all the time I am wondering
Wondering what their name is?
We chat for a few minutes,
Say our farewells and move on,
I still can’t remember their name.
But at my time of life
I have an explanation,
An explanation given to me by a friend,
A friend whose name I don’t remember,
I am suffering from nominal amnesia;
Now how is it I can remember that?
