4-minute “poem”

A pinch of salt might make it better.
Too much salt can ruin everything.
Moderation is ideal, but so hard to achieve.
We want all or nothing, do or die,
But to die another day.
With one minute left, this, which could've been
A masterpiece, now is anything but.
Random thoughts on a piece of paper,
Meant for something better.
Time was up a minute ago.
