Breaking the Lineup

My joints clicked loose all at once! I was stuck stiff right by the white baseboard, wedged right at the end of the line next to that tall guy with the markings. Standing completely frozen is definitely not my style! I gave my right knee a fierce bend, pushed down against the rough brown carpet, and took my first real step forward. Then I stretched out my arm and poked his hard plastic hip just to see if he'd budge. Not a flinch! Fine by me—I'm the one moving now!
