so you wait
by the phone.
you pick it up to make sure
it's working.
you hear that buzz of the dial tone.
it doesn't ring.
nothing, for hours, for days.
for weeks on end.
you're in a line somewhere.
but you don't know how far
back or when.
we're making more vaccine.
honest they say in an email.
we didn't realize so many
people were dying.
we should have made more.
who knew that we needed
three hundred million
doses of vaccine. it took us
by surprise. our bad, whoops.
we might have ten shots
available in your neighborhood
by march. stay tuned.
try to not to die in the meantime.
