confusion.

Standard

just curious 

why

when hurrying through a drive-through 

to grab a quick cup of coffee

at taco bell

(which should have given me pause in the first place)

 they handed me my coffee

then

a bag, a spork, and a little cup of thick crema.

maybe they’re too hipster for me

and I just don’t get it.

more fun than getting the surprise in a happy meal at mcdonalds

and more confusing.

was completely ignored and left standing all alone

after the chocolate egg hunt surrounding it?
