Pie, Peaches & Crosswords
they sit by the lake in the shadow of old oaks and maples elderly couples sitting mostly quiet and still enjoying an afternoon when they talk it's usually short things like the weather the identity of a bird what pie they have waiting at home an answer to a crossword puzzle the quality of their peaches or what's on TV that night over 160 years combined of life love loss happiness regrets fears achievements failures courage cowardice and they never sound unhappy with death creeping close to be talking just a little bit about pie peaches and crossword puzzles instead of talking a lot or at all about life death love loss and all the other bullshit
