Lines

There are lines and there are lines.
Educated people quietly fume. Blue collar types make loud complaints about everything. Poor people assume whatever it is they are waiting for won't be there by the time they get to the front.
Audition lines are all about cell phones, lipstick, mirrors, gossip. Lines to the ladies room are long, slow and self hating. Lines of ventriloquists and impressionists are very competitive. Lines of convicts are sullen and brooding. Lines of writers are sullen and brooding.
There are no lines of CEOs and no lines of cats.
Athlete lines are infused with stretching and flexing, making them indistinguishable from pole dancer lines. Lines of altar boys are uncomfortable subdued. Lines of dictators are quite short due to frequent executions while waiting. Lines of dogs contain all sorts of sniffing.
The Pope, when he is depressed, likes to create lines of Cardinals, who bow in unison. Evidently, that is more effective than Zoloft.
