Poetic Bloomings Prompt Fear

Looming  

I can never think of those three words.
Whenever I’m talking to friends
I have to halt the conversation
and say, “You know
the organization in each town
that helps visitors know the area
and its businesses thrive.
And then someone supplies
the correct phrase.

And then I always think of my dad
saying “car starters” for keys,
“bottle that talks” for phone,
“thing you push” for lawn mower. 

He had Alzheimer’s.
