KEY LIME PIE by
Kenneth Pobo Voyeur telescopes have excellent vision but can't see a small planet beyond Pluto where an all-nite diner serves outrageous key lime pie. Clara brings a slice with piping hot coffee. Curmudgeons yawp about how Andromeda used to show better films, but things today, well, what can you do? The door opens to a place that makes Antarctica feel like Venus Di Milo. Not many young people stay. They head for some Vegas asteroid a few million miles away. Clara misses her daughter Terri who spins a roulette wheel and dances in a cage of solar wind. Sometimes, on slow nights, Clara puts her head in her hands and cries over a fresh slice, her hair a blooming lime orchard. Blossoms fall under her tongue. She returns to work, flirts with a cowboy comet waving shyly at the window.
