Behind the lettuce, half a can of lager sits below ground level. A handwritten sign says FREE HOUSE. I bring mine. The landlord has neglected to provide a step. I taste the head, consider the body. A beetle on the rim says everyone is going down. I take a leaf from the establishment and leave my silver signature along the rim. The gardener comes out with salt. I take my custom and the house elsewhere.
