Responses

Tapping feet rapidly
Fidgeting with hands
A sweat breaking on your forehead
As you wait for a response
A response so critical
A response so urgent
A response so important
A response that can't be delayed
And as you wait
And assume the worst of situations
Dreading horrifying endings
Trying to shoo away
Your blessed imaginations
Head filled with scenarios
That make you want to cry
And all this fuss
For a single response
