Back when I was eight, every friday we would have
our own little holidays.
Filled with pizza, too much soda and locally rented games.
Even still, as it was
there still was an occasion
Sometimes, mostly on weeks when
my dad had ideas that would engage us to
toss away our pizza,
and all our nintendo games
We would get chinese food.
And that was all the same to us
as having a vacation
We didn't have brains to think
That it's ONLY chinese food.
That's not how we would think
Me and my little, and my older brother would
freak out at 6 at night
When the mom and dad came home from errands
with boxes written in a language we couldn't write.
All we were was indians.
All I knew was stew
We weren't dirt poor but even still
Egg drop soup was something new.
Holy hell, i loved chow mein
I smothered my riced with hot mustard
Even though I was only nine, i knew was divinity was.
It was eggrolls, fortunes cookies, and my newfound MSG buzz.
