not to be one of them.
you think
of yourself
as better than that.
you try
not to join in
to the grumbling,
the complaining about
the long line,
the traffic,
the molasses
service of waiters.
you listen as they go
on and on about
the weather, the cost
of nearly everything.
you put your hand
over your mouth to keep
your words in.
don't, you tell yourself,
don't be like
them.
this last for about thirty
seconds
before you put your
own two cents in.
