Senior Moment

I just now had a little thought that swiftly sped away. It was a "Senior Moment" and I have some every day. I try to introduce a friend, but can't recall her name. Remembering it at midnight is too late and not the same. If she perceives my addled state, my friend portrays no sign. Not worried I forgot her name, she's trying to remember mine.
