I've removed my cpu cooler to clean it and don't have any thermal paste or money to purchase some if I removed it then put it back within a minute is it OK or do I need to reapply?

Some paste literally costs a couple of $.

If it's not dried and there's a decent coverage you might be OK.

Why did you remove it knowing that you didn't have any paste?

It will literally cost you $5 for a tube of paste. The fact you have a computer to begin with I'm sure you can afford paste.
