The hour boils down to smaller unit
sands run down to a single minute
time stops short of where fashions failed
in comes a starched shirt everybody hailed.

Walks in children yards carry conflict echoes
rodents run for cover under gecko held stuccos,
in the minute of every moment you breathe alive
in absences of formal education,
where you'd count beyond five;
another unit breaks down to a simpler form
another unit tells us if we beat the norm...

time stops shorts of pleated pants
minutes cut the words of a speechless tramp;
the salt of time runs to a low reserve
it's a minute of time that one deserves...

A minute is far from "minoot", for within each minute can be found eternity!
