Slice of Life

You sent me home with the last of the pizza,

Wrapped neatly as a wedge in aluminum foil.

Anyone even vaguely familiar with iconic shapes

Would recognize that pizza slice outline. (There

Is no better way to divide a circle in all fairness

For those who share.) And we certainly did lots

Of sharing that afternoon at your house—Scrab-

ble, the big game on TV. Casual and humorous

Conversations flowed like a satin-smooth Chardon-

nay. All-in-all for me it was a great day. And I took

Home a slice of it to enjoy latter. One evening when

I don’t wish to bother messing up the kitchen cook-

ing dinner, when I want a simple meal ready-made,

I will reach for that aluminum-foil wrapped slice of

Pizza in the freezer. I’ll allow it to sit on the kitchen

Counter, and wait for the tasty sausage and peperoni

Deliciousness of my memories to thaw.
