Micro SF/F by O. Westin

If you pass Humanity's Earth,
Land, buy some local delicacies:
Chocolate, coffee, tea, liquorice.
There are more; ask a Human.

Keep them, until you need
To befriend a Human
Wandering the galaxy
Far from home.

The rumours about Humans are true,
For good or ill

A gift can be invaluable
