The friendly pies

They didn't really know each
other yet
they chatted about their pasts
and laughed
and ate lemon
pecan
and pumpkin pie
and in the talking asked
and answered more questions
in between gulps
laughing or asking more
about life's whens or whys
and about how to eat favorite pies
and dishes circled

the snug dining room

slices of pie

slices of life

making friends

and as I swirled
the flavors
on my tongue
I remembered
at the end of the feast
that it was a Friday night

the weekend's beginning
a very good night

to meet

greet

and eat

unforgettably

delicious pie.
