Convenience inconvenience

This evening I saw a line
Longer than most
of people restlessly queuing behind
Each other
and more running to join
to create a human serpentine
what on earth was this line for?
There weren't any restaurants
as far as the eye could see
but there was a small shop
that kept pushing out plastic packets
With something inside
something special perhaps
it must be
and so I walked ahead of the people train
people staring at me
frowning with murder twinkling in their eyes
some even wished to question
as to how I was just brazenly walking
ahead of everyone?
What did I intend to do?
I had no ill intention
no reason for me to jilt the queue
it was just curiosity
as I quickened my pace
to get a glimpse of what it really was
three people standing behind a glass counter
Engrossed in pushing out packet after packet
of rotisserie chicken
