a week not going
exactly as planned
even when we go to get
her emergency visa
some guy comes along
and jumps the queue
loudly claiming
he’s supposed to be
in front of a group of us
when i call him out on it
he tries to weasel out of it
bleating “i’m supposed to be here!
i’d never jump the queue!
i have principles!”
but i let it go
not wanting to make things worse
on a day like this
it’s hard to see
the good in the world
i can only hope
tomorrow will be better
somehow.
