They means he requested her:
“Cream?”
When providing her
Scorching cider
Introduced again the door’s pneumatic gasp
Simply as she entered
The espresso store, when
A teen-aged boy was pushing fingers out and in
Of jam
To style the candy
And amber liquor; when
The girl closest to the window
Slipped into her mouth the tender pink nub
Of a pencil’s eraser
And the entry means between her
And an open desk was getting moist
With rain;
When the woman
She stepped behind
Used her fingers to unfold aside her moist and
Steaming
Cinnamon bun.
The way in which he requested her – ‘Cream?’
When
The rise and fall and rise
And ‘Oh!’
Of a lastly opened pink and purple
Umbrella
Spilled drops of moisture on her pores and skin,
Made her reply:
Sure,
Thanks, sure! It at all times tastes
So
Good.
