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.
