Puzzle skills

For ages, well it seems like ages

Periodically the name of someone who I am facing

Escapes me

Or was never retained

My brain has become

A very detailed typo

Were names fly across the typewriter in My mind

I look for clues in the face of the person in front of me

Noticing who they might be standing with

Listening to the conversation

Occasionally, I will hear someone reference their name

I jot it down in mporous mine

I even say it again and again, so I won’t forget it

And then take out my phone and put it in with the other names. I can’t remember

Any outside chance when I see them again, I’ll know their name

It’s a cruel trick that has been played on me. I blame it on artificial intelligence

Yes, yes, I actually am artificial intelligence

If I understand correctly

Artificial refers to something that is made

Remembering is something that if we don’t have, we have to create

Understandably, I often stand with a big smile on my face

As if the person I am looking at is one of my best friends

One time I bought a shirt that said

I am Frank! And you?

That got laughs, but it did get me a name

So frequently I can sit quietly picture the person, and just every now and then like a pinhole in my head

Their name comes to me, oh sweet blessing!

So this writing is really just

One of the reasons that the expression “you all”

Potentially saves me in a number of social situations

so yes, the New York Times, the Washington Post

Provide opportunities to solve puzzles

For myself, there is no greater opportunity

Then to look in your face and remember your name,
