Five Minutes Ago

When you chose to stay away from comprehension...
You traveled further than you knew from understanding.
What was then basic,
If you had grasped and held onto it...
Has become too complexed that it threatens.
And for you to ask me what is going on...
I must admit,
I do not know how to answer that now.
You thought too long to pose that question.
And it has since been deleted from my concern!
I am moving as fast as I can...
Just to keep up with what happened,
Five minutes ago!
And I know what you have on your mind,
Has long been outdated!
And does not exist in these times!
