You get a lot of between times In this life Bundled in with The usual highs and lows They're like the packaging You unpack when The real gift arrives - Not noticing That these Unpackagings These moments Of unpackaging These between times Are life. Not the holders of life But life itself - The stuff we throw away.

The whole package
You get a lot of between times In this life Bundled in with The usual highs and lows They're like the packaging You unpack when The real gift arrives - Not noticing That these Unpackagings These moments Of unpackaging These between times Are life. Not the holders of life But life itself - The stuff we throw away.
