I penned The Queue, a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), for the d’Verse Poets Pub, hosted by WhimsyGizmo, incorporating a form of the word jump.
The Queue
Hey,
do you mind,
you know
you’re jumping the queue—
you were behind
you’re in the place
that was mine.
I’ve been standing in line
for a while,
shuffling slowly,
you give a shrug,
and I rile.
the queue’s as long as a mile
