Sliver of pie

Te-re-sa-  ,  The-re-sa  a namesake.

Whats inside? The auto parts store? a fuel filter? Hope? or a sliver of pie.

She remarks: “Hope springs eternal” Alexander Pope. For us all.

How did I evoke such a response? Will tere be anything else? she said.

Looking  across the counter at Kelsey daughter and I. No, Just the fuel filter and a suitcase of hundreds, my reply.

I am a believer in spreading the wealth she said. Its all around us, don’t  you see?

I retort: asking if you took a piechart and equally divided the wealth that exists on this earthly sphere, divisible by the number of people living here, what would this number be? In this a sliver of pie.

“Hope springs eternal”  she said.

Truth or madness may seem. more or less we each decide. A big juicy piece? or a sliver of pie?

As we gaze into the mirror you and I . Live high on the hog somewhere others they die.

What say? cut a slice. You decide the serving size. Johnny G.
