Neither Wild nor Yonder, Blue
by
J. M. Hallett
Out of the blue
I ran into an old classmate
A woman, now
Whom I'd dated when she was a girl
Chance encounters are always unsettling
But we gave reminiscing a whirl
And I know we were happy to meet again
And we chatted as old friends do
We covered the weather, our families
And old times...
Just to name a few
But the whole time she was talking
I was driving myself insane
Searching the wild blue yonder
Probing cobwebbed voids in my brain
For any clue, image or notion
That might help me remember her name
