Five Minutes
In five minutes
you can change your mind
or your life,
write a poem,
end a relationship,
answer the phone,
drink a cup of coffee,
win a prize,
count three hundred seconds,
forgive yourself or another,
laugh uproariously,
listen carefully,
quit a job.
In five minutes
you can change your mind
or your life,
stand up to injustice
start a relationship,
give a speech,
read a book,
donate to a cause,
start a new job,
appreciate yourself or another,
weep many tears,
help a stranger.
In five minutes
you can change your life
or not.
