Saturday morning at the post office

I never seem to remember from week to week
the line at the post office on Saturday morning
and find myself in it
in order to get my rent paid on time.

Behind me comes a voice
carping to no one in particular
and everyone in general
about the line.

So now I not only have to stand in line
for half an hour
trying to use the time
to practice patience

I have to have my peace disturbed
by this woman's opinions
of the government.

I think to myself
I often sound like her
and vow to stop.
