I missed the dentist

The dentist kept my chair
for half an hour.
No tooth was pulled.
No drill complained.
No polite assistant
called my name.
Only the empty room
did what was asked of it.
Silence, it seems,
has its price.
I paid it
and came home thinking
how strange it is
that absence
can cost so much.
