Bears and Pie

Last night on my walk I found two things. An unopened bottle of vitamin C gummy bears in the Elks parking lot and an unopened box of pecan pie on the Castle Luncheonette picnic table. I figured the pie was dropped off for Mike the man who hangs out there each day. I picked up the unopened jar of red gummy bears and brought it home to show my husband.

On my walk just now the unopened box of pecan pie was still there. Mike was at a picnic table nearby. "Mike did you see the pecan pie?" I asked.
"It's not mine," he said.
"I thought someone brought it for you," I said. I realized it was none of my business. There's enough shame in being homeless.
