Long lines
hours till testing
everyone caught off guard
on the news
woman in tears
for she and her babies
having been told to
come back tomorrow
at first there
weren’t even any
porta potties

We witness adaptation
via mass communication
and complaints
new sites soon pop up
spread across the city
and in schools
with more to come
maybe pharmacies
nasal swab replaced
in the evolution by
the spit saliva sampling
