Under the Wire-Matt the Electrician

[00:13.55]I'm a ridiculous American sitting in a Burger King [00:16.82]On the side of the highway in another country. [00:19.79]It is actually Denmark. [00:21.52]It is actually beautiful. [00:22.95]I'm reading a novel by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. [00:39.63]It is a story of Japan. [00:41.46]It is a story of a family [00:43.00]In the 1930s before World War II. [00:45.99]It was a long time ago. [00:47.59]It was a long ways away [00:49.25]As far as right here as I am to you. [01:04.42][02:29.03][03:27.73]And under the wire [01:07.49][02:32.06][03:31.17]They held up the hands, [01:10.06][02:34.73][03:33.78]Their wedding bands, [01:13.43][02:38.19][03:37.42]Waiting in order [01:18.08][02:42.49]When order was everything. [01:37.82]And I'm thinking that these truckers [01:39.76]At this truck stop in Denmark [01:41.31]Look almost like the truckers we have back home [01:44.26]And a van pulls up. It is a UPS van, [01:47.39]And I want to crawl inside it so I don't feel so alone. [02:04.20]And I cannot use my phone 'cause it is too expensive [02:07.62]And I hope the tour van remembers where I am [02:10.74]The radio is playing a song by Shakira. [02:13.85]I've heard it twice already; I'm gonna here it again. [03:12.14]I was told I would be waiting for two whole hours, [03:15.61]So I read my book at the Burger King. [03:18.85]And exactly at the end of the two whole hours [03:22.33]A van pulled up, and I was on the road again. [03:41.87]When order was everything
