Hello Marion...
The Great dead Bird thing...
Should I take it personally?
Or are you venting?
If I should do the first...
Remember, you must take a number...
I can't give you the wait time just yet...
You might have time to grab a lunch and feel free to check back...
Don't give up...
Don't lose your number...
Or you'll have to go back to the back of the line...
Understandable write!
Thank you for sharing...

P.S. if you've had your number...
You have great timing...

A compelling, stark poem. And I empathize with a lot of intense feelings expressed. The alternating case enhances the mood of the poem.
Put like that ... it reminds me of Hitler. Ordering his people about, lapping up their adulation, deciding who lives and who dies ....then slinking back to his bunker when it all goes to pot. Hmmm 🤔 xx
OK...I love your interpretation!! Hugs xx
