Takeaways

Takeaways

Take away the day spent in the sand
and the sunburnt patch,
take away the stubborn knot
at the back of the hair
and the hair in the bottom of the shower stall,
take away the beating of the batter
and the baking of the cake.

Meet me on the sofa and greet
my mushroom with your fork,
my oyster sauce,
my rice, my peas,
my plate.
What about take away the takeaways?
And the waiting is over!
