WAITING IN LINE
Take your place this is not a race ,soon to ask if what brought you here was worth the price
I just want to pay to not stand idle and reminisce ,that full cart & those 5 kids ahead should have been a sign of a long day
Never considered stealing but this has me reeling, rethinking my vow to always play nice
Opened the aspirin first ,now considering buying beer, my morning smile has turned to to a leer
Mom forgot something, sent head child back into the wild,biding time who am to criticize
Enquirer SCREAMS u.f.o's here,looking around that is clear,now noticing for the first time all the kinds of mints & gum sold here
Dripping ice cream has me about to scream,the quality of my dinner determined by whatever else she buys
Muzak & me are about to have an epiphany,one more note could be all she wrote ,the elevator sounds of the seventies are becoming surreal
Patrons starting to pay heed they also want speed,pacing like bulls before the race ,just waiting to terrorize
Checker changing color, her eyes growing colder while bagger acting bolder,getting a few munchies is spinning into quite the ordeal
Her order finally tallied ,cheers break out from those who rallied ,she forgot her money so quickly I pay her fare ,just to escape, not caring if it is my own bills that are compromised . R..C
