The five minutes you have now
may be the only five minutes you get this week
or this year
or this era.

Use what you get.
Make the most of it
before you realize
it’s wasted and gone
opportunity erased from your existence.

Those five minutes
paltry as they seem
are a blessing
you should exploit
at the instant that it’s offered.

Proof: you know how long
it took to write this?
Four minutes
– plus editing!
