just coffee for me

i see
the blue haired sister
eating
a whole
pie with a fork
at the diner.
she's wearing a gingham
dress.
yellow and white
patches
holding her girth
beneath it.
blueberry jam
is on her lips.
she sees me, and taps
the table
with her fork,
have a seat, she says.
how have you 
been?
it's been a while.
want some pie?
just coffee for me i tell her,
no pie
she slips another coin
into the table
juke box.

pretty woman.
