I stop, I look up, and di sky bin dey do sometin wey I for waka pass under am straight without noticing. I go dey do dis one once every day. E dey cost one minute and e don already change di size of di afternoon. One whole layer of di world dey up dere wey dey run nonstop, for free, weda person look am or nobody look am. Notin about my day get space for dis tin, and e come be say e no need any space at all.

One full minute long pass how e dey sound. Di cloud dem dey move well well pass wetin person go tink inside sixty seconds. One bird dey do sometin wey im structure impressive well well and wey no send weda anybody dey watch am. Person waka pass me while I dey stand dere and e no look up, and six months ago na me be dat. Di sky no dey perform for anybody. E just dey do dis tin, all day, on top everybody head.

Most place wey I dey waka go, na screen or na my leg I dey look. Whole season don pass on top my head while I dey read sometin wey I don already forget completely. Dat no be small trade, and I make am without say anybody ever offer am to me, one look at a time. Di default no dey neutral. Attention dey go somewhere weda I direct am or I no direct am, and if I refuse to choose, sometin else go choose for my head, and e no go ever choose di sky even once. Notin wey dey up dere dey compete for me. Na exactly why e dey lose.

One minute of looking up dey reset sometin wey small and wey dey happen sharp sharp. E free, e dey available every time, and I dey continue to refuse am, wey be strange tin to dey do on purpose. No version of my day dey wey no get space for dis one. Di scarcity no ever be time. Na di idea say person gats first work for one minute of doing notin abi justify am, and dat one no true, and e no ever true. I don dey ration sometin wey no dey short at all.

So once today I go stop and look di sky for one full minute. Wit timer, because if not I go cut am reach fifteen seconds den I go call am say e don finish, and fifteen seconds na quick look, no be minute. Di timer no be say I too like rule. Na di difference between to really do am and to plan well well say I go do am, and na inside dat difference most of my good idea dey go die.

One minute. Di day big pass how I bin dey treat am, and e big like dat di whole time.
