Five to Ten MinutesA Poem by Nothing Personal
So you have five to ten minutes,
What can you do with them? You can look out of your window and look into the clouds swishing on the gray sky. Or maybe just look at the crystal window glass and the icy , needle raindrops scattered haphazardly. You could sip a few warm bites of the Latte you just ordered from Starbucks or simply wait for Ben who is buying you lunch. You could look at that old glass bottle at the corner of your office and think of your high school chemistry class. Of Lena who you simply loved but she never ever looked back. Of Jacob who pestered you when you did the tedious titrations. You could also call Halie Who sits in the office next to you , Close your eyes and submit yourself to the passion of the carnal connection that you share with each other. Maybe you could drop by the library And pick up that copy of "The Alchemist" Which you wanted to read since who knows when. Ideally you should do two lines of coding As time increases, diffusivity increases Or something like that. If you are someone like me, You could also start a poem, finish writing one or make another one incomplete. Or you could transpond to the memory which you revisit every now and then. The first time two lips met, the first time two bodies entwined Of how it was perfect and Yet how it never lasted. Oh her thought. There is so much you could do and so little you can In just those few minutes.... Knock. Knock. Ting. Your office door opens You see a smiling Ben standing by the doorway holding two boxes. You realize you have spent Ten minutes of your life. © Nothing Personal. November 02, 2010. © 2010 Nothing PersonalFeatured Review
