I’m standing In the queue Awaiting for my turn In front of.. eh.. a girl Of someth about eighteen; To hip attached a canteen It dangles somehow attractive Am I a passive or an active Dunno A lot of groceries around The sterile bdzeeen of cash-registers click open The line behind me is growing But receding in front of me And that’s what only matters: To be Not the last, to have someone behind to back You; my turn at last; decide to take a Doublemint To cool my breath to conceal the reek of a beer; She beep-beeps my goods; slashes the throat of A machine with my card; return it to me and then leaves me be; and I leave

Waiting in the queue
I’m standing In the queue Awaiting for my turn In front of.. eh.. a girl Of someth about eighteen; To hip attached a canteen It dangles somehow attractive Am I a passive or an active Dunno A lot of groceries around The sterile bdzeeen of cash-registers click open The line behind me is growing But receding in front of me And that’s what only matters: To be Not the last, to have someone behind to back You; my turn at last; decide to take a Doublemint To cool my breath to conceal the reek of a beer; She beep-beeps my goods; slashes the throat of A machine with my card; return it to me and then leaves me be; and I leave
