It seems that the cup was rescued from its weight and furnishing once it became easier to say, “Let’s have a coffee.” Once the weight of words dissipated and interlocutors became easier to come by, once it became difficult to remember the memory of coffee, the zarf disappeared and left a cellulose-style design in its place. Speed is to fall behind, so long as you don’t know, waiting is to own, so long as you don’t know, the coffee fill up and empty out.

“Bir kahve içelim” kolaylayınca fincan da ağırlıklarından ve tefrişatından kurtulurmuş anlaşılan. Sözün ağırlığı azalınca ve muhatap kolay bulununca, kahvenin hatırı zor hatırlanınca bir zarf gidip selüloz tadında bir desen kalmış geriye. Hız geriye düşmektir, bilmeyince, beklemek sahip olmaktır, bilmeyince kahveler dolar boşalır olmuş.
