You’re standing
in this long line
patiently waiting,
waiting to buy
or exchange,
waiting to register
or claim.
It is a long, long line,
and the waiting
takes a long, long time.
You look ahead
and behind as people
come and go, as you
inch closer to the front.
Seems as if you spend
a lifetime waiting in line,
getting closer
and closer to your turn.
And then eventually
the time comes…
Next, please.
And you swear,
never ever again.
No more lines,
not until the next time.
