When I transact toward an espresso
my intent
is to drink
the liquid part.
The cup and plate (and the spoon &c)
would remain the shop’s property.
Really, I just want to make sure
no one’s upset or confused (or surprised &c).
I don’t want to lay down my clink,
then find out too late
that my rights
are limited to
moving the drink around, for example.
Or smelling it.
did you pay to hear that? or do you have sticky sonic fingers?
