i can't walk, my leg is asleep

you've been sitting in
the same
position
for hours, waiting
your turn.
your right leg is folded
over your
left leg.
you doze off,
you wake up and read
a little,
you crane your neck around
to see who's coming,
who's gone.
it's only you now.
soon it will be your turn.
you stretch out
your legs
and shake them,
one has fallen asleep.
it's become a
tingling heavy log.
then they
call you.
