Heart thumps, bladder shrinks.
Three long minutes—thump-thump-thump.
Two stripes. Thump. Thump. Thump.

Haha! Yes those three minutes can be very long! Great haiku!
I saw your reply to Paul so I think it's safe for me to say that this should be a nightmare for everyone. I mean, a child, in this economy? Lol. Loved your Haiku!
This teetering moment, with such a lot of emotion behind it, perfectly described 😁
Clever...and revealing?
Very deep. In this day and age of fascism the personal becomes political. Well written Cristal.
Ouch. All the feels. You've captured that.momebr perfectly, Cristal.
