ON THE BACK BURNER

Do you ever just forget the name of something. I wanted the name of a fruit. I could see it in my head, but the name just wouldn't come up,or down in my case . Down from my mind to my mouth. i could see the fuzzy skin, the green center and the little black seeds. Just not the name. i worried for about 29 seconds that  I was getting to that time in life that I was having serious memory lapses. Then  I forgot about it because I was in a beautiful surrounding. We were at the botanic gardens with the bluest sky , surrounded by rain forest, dessert, lawns and serenity. So what if I couldn't remember the fruit. That left room in my brain for something else to fill that space.Then , when the subject was long forgotten and no one cared, I remembered. Kiwi.
