The vending machine.
Its clunky arm egaged,
after you give the buttons a few clicks.
With a satisfying swoop,
as it moves its arm to grab your item,
or with a satisfying clunk,
after watching a coil dispense it off its shelf.
It politely presents you to take your merchandise.
After its work is done, you may summon it again.
It doesn't dispense it's inventory to no end.
It doesn't teleport the thing you bought from its store to the basket.
It obeys its duty with a life;
with a series of events to be expected of its character.
The graceful life of a vending machine.
