Literary: This Line Is Too Long

It starts with a stand,
It winds down the aisle.
You pull out your phone
Fiddle with it for a while.

Shift your weight to one side,
The left and the right.
At times going forward,
Less often than you’d like.

Look at those in front,
Glance at the ones behind.
They reflect the impatience
Lack of peace of mind.

You stay standing,
The way you’ve had.
This line is too long,
An eternity has passed.
