Five minutes

Five minutes before I loose sight of the cove

Five minutes of this tight frame.
Five minutes of tight constraints.
Five minutes of unidirectionality.
Five minutes of freedom.
Five minutes of flow, then stop.

Five minutes then it had to dry.
Five minutes then I stepped back.
Five minutes then I started thinking again.
Five minutes then I looked around.
Five minutes then came the next five minutes ■

Then six planets
