i want a hot baked pie

it used to be if you were
new in the neighborhood,
just moving in,
someone would bake you a pie
or cook up a giant
pan of tuna casserole,
which was nearly impossible
to put down the garbage
disposal.
but now. people just peek
out their windows and stare
as the truck pulls up.
no one waves, or introduces
themselves.
they bring the kids inside
and pull the blinds. there's
no welcome wagon. nothing.
i want my pie, dammit.
