Appointment
I have an appointment
To get the vaccine.
I chose it from several
Up there on the screen.
But now there’s a scramble
And many are stuck
With no chance to get one;
They’re plain out of luck.
I’ve gotten 3 texts
And a call to confirm.
It’s not reassuring;
It’s making me squirm.
Suppose they run out
Or my paperwork’s wrong?
If I name my worries,
The list will be long.
Tomorrow will get here;
I’m stressed to the max.
If I get the shot, though,
I’ll start to relax.
