the angry line

I want to give you a
piece of my mind
the woman says, hands
on her hips. I've
got a lot to say
about what a horrible
person you are.
hold on you say, you'll
get your turn.
but the angry line
is over there.
against the wall,
you see those other
women, well, get at
the end of the line
and i'll listen to
your grievances
when it's your turn.
there's a fresh pot
of coffee in the back
and some bagels.
help your self. try
to be concise and clear
when it's your turn.
keep your voice down
and try not to spit
when you talk.
okay. off you go.
next.
