#takeout
Sometimes you make me feel like a Chinese takeout bag.
I leave the building filled with holes and all I say is “thank you thank you thank you”.

Wait for it
yes, wait for it
who knows just what
it's coming
yes, it's coming
is it cold, or hot
squint your eyes
yes, look for it
in the distance and the mist
feel the sand
all the granules
slipping through your fist
a touch of anticipation
yes, longing deep inside
any and all the questions
from which you cannot hide
an itch you just can't reach
persisting in your mind
everywhere you turn
running out of time
when it finally gets here
you'll know beyond a doubt

Everybody’s rushing with their lives
So they take what’s easy
They takeout Chinese food for dinner
They find the song they like online
They read the synopsis instead of the book
They say good night too early only to find themselves awake at 2 am
looking for someone to talk to
They make 3-in-1 cups of coffee
They type, they forget to write
But you darling, you’re not made for the “now”
You’re not made to-go
You’re not made for takeouts
You’re for later
You’re for enjoying lunch for an hour
You’re watching sunsets for dinner
Because time will never run out
for something that is not meant for the time being
Let’s take this moment in and stay still
We’re not for now
We don’t need to figure out how
Because darling, we’re not made for now.
